All those interested in taking part in this project, can attend the ‘Desirable Future Session’ that will be held at the KSU Common Room on Wednesday 19th December between 12:30pm and 1:30pm.
Our team will explain the process of the event and we will also have interesting talks from CineXjenza and The Artificial Intelligence Department at the University of Malta.
CineXjenza
CineXjenza, is a new concept which is being worked on by S-Cubed, St James Cavalier and the Malta Chamber of Scientists. The idea behind it is for discussion and debate on what current research and technology can achieve, while comparing this to what we are seeing in the movies, being presented to us. From new radical technological advances, to incredible biological discoveries or simply discovering new laws of science. With this series of events, we will be tackling singular films, watching them together and afterwards, professionals in the area will tackle the movie with the current state of research if it is or is not possible to achieve what is presented to us and kick start of a discussion.
Department of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is concerned with getting machines to behave humanly: to solve complex, ill-specified problems; to learn and discover on the basis of experience; to perceive, to interpret, to classify, to speak, to hear, to hold conversations in English or Maltese. In short, AI studies the general problem of building intelligent artifacts that demonstrate human-like competence in determined areas. The boundary between AI and Computer Science tends to be fluid. There are areas – knowledge representation or data interpretation come to mind – which are thoroughly interdisciplinary. This is as it should be, since when AI discovers a new problem, it looks to Computer Science to extend the tools out of which solutions might be built.
