Lectures on Tap @ The Gov (SOLD OUT)
About
If you're a fiend for a YouTube video with your dinner, or are simply looking for a different way to get out of the house and learn something new to aid your cool Aunt/Uncle lore, this is made for you.Inspired by the original Lectures on Tap over in America, this activation brings industry experts into bars to give talks about their research. Think two 25-minute talks with a break in between, giving you plenty of time to head to the bar for another pint or a spot of dinner.
Held in the iconic Gov, you're sure to enjoy some good vibes before and after the talks. This particular activation is ideal for introverts, curious minds, or people just looking for something different on a Wednesday night. Below, you'll find details about the talks being discussed and the people giving them.
“Form, Function and Fantasy: The Psychology + Neuroscience of Human-AI interactions” by Dr Nathan Caruana
We're increasingly sharing our lives with AI — chatbots, voice assistants, robot tutors. But does it actually matter whether we think we're talking to a person? Drawing on brain imaging, VR experiments, and some very candid kids talking about their robot reading buddies, Nate explores how the human brain navigates the blurry line between "person" and "machine" — and why it matters more than you'd think.
"The lawyers of space” by Dr Joel Liam
It takes a lot to launch a rocket – engineers and scientists spend hundreds of thousands of hours perfecting their technologies, but does anyone think of the lawyers?! In this talk, Dr Joel Lisk will introduce you to the universe of space law and why laws can be just as important as rocket fuel.
Accessibility: the gov is a wheelchair accessible venue.
