BGGD Reloaded #8 – Let’s talk about AI

+++ Noter, there has been a CHANGE OF VENUE – we are now at Spaces in the centre of Bath +++

Hello there fellow earthling –

Summer is over (What!) and let’s kick off this new school year with a special event hosted with support of Bath Spa University’s Centre for Cultural and Creative Industries and the South West Creative Technology Network, thanks Kate Pullinger and Rachel Pownall.

Our first speaker will be Coral Manton who is planning on talking about Women in Tech focusing on live coding, games development and Women in AI.

Our second speaker will be myself talking to you about Getting Ethical with AI. How can we add ethical considerations into those processes and why I believe that the Finance Industry would be a perfect guinea pig for adding policies.

There will be drinks and nibbles and I am looking forward to seeing you all after this long hiatus.

Note, SPACES has no reception after 6pm, so if you are running late, please let me know and we will ensure you get in. The meetup will be on the 2nd Floor – just follow the Buzz.

GGD #72 GirlGeekDinners @Graphcore

We are being hosted by what must be Bristols biggest Unicorn this month. They’ve stepped in when our earlier sponsor had to step down due to unforeseen circumstances. Rather than let you down for a second month we did a callout to see if any other comapnies could save the date for us and Voila!! Graphcore stepped in. Think AI, electronics, Robotics and … well anything really!

Graphcore has created a completely new processor, the Intelligence Processing Unit (IPU), specifically designed for machine intelligence. The IPU’s unique architecture means developers can run current machine learning models orders of magnitude faster. More importantly, it lets AI researchers undertake entirely new types of work, not possible using current technologies, to drive the next great breakthroughs in general machine intelligence. We believe our IPU technology will become the worldwide standard for machine intelligence compute. The performance of Graphcore’s IPU is going to be transformative across all industries and sectors, whether you are a medical researcher, roboticist or autonomous car manufacturer.
