Humans and robots – harmony or war?

Looking at today’s robots, it can be hard to believe those who say they’ll one day displace us across a range of industries. But as artificial intelligence becomes smarter, and technology continues to advance, we need to ask ourselves three important questions:

• Where does this put humans?
• What is the impact on the traditional jobs we’ve come to pursue?
• Is a future with robots really a cause for concern?

In this Monash Tech Talks event, leading experts in AI, optimisation, robotics and machine learning will help you separate fact from fiction by delving deep into:

• the future of AI and how it will shape the evolution of robots, with examples of innovative applications in different sectors.
• the impact of bias in code on software, the concept of ‘humans-in-the-loop’ and how this affects our influence and control over technology.
• the careers expected to emerge as robots evolve – and the IT skills graduates will need in the workforce of tomorrow.

The panel:

Liam Malone - Entrepreneur and Paralympic Gold Medalist
Associate Professor Aldeida Aleti - Associate Dean (Engagement and Impact)
