An Audience With: Nell Watson, Futurist and Technology Philosopher

In a change to the regular format, we're asking members to grab a glass of their favourite tipple and join us for an inspiring and informal evening webinar with last year's phenomenal BIMA Conference keynote speaker Nell Watson, Futurist and Technology Philosopher. In a conversation with bestselling author, technologist and and CEO of Vala Health Pete Trainor, she will share her views on the current situation we find ourselves in and what's next. Eleanor'Nell' Watson is a Machine Intelligence researcher who helped to pioneer Deep Machine Vision at her company QuantaCorp, which enables fast and accurate body measurement from just two photos. In sharing her knowledge as AI Faculty at Singularity University and author of Machine Intelligence courseware for O'Reilly Media, she realised the importance of protecting human rights and putting ethics, safety, and the values of human spirit into A.I. Nell serves as Chair & Vice-Chair respectively of the IEEE's ECPAIS Transparency Experts Focus Group, and P7001 Transparency of Autonomous Systems committee on AI Ethics & Safety, engineering credit score-like mechanisms to safeguard algorithmic trust.
