What the great and the good have to say about journalism...

With autumn comes a round of media events hosted by the London Press Club, the Media Society and Polis, the LSE's media think-tank. The Press Club is devoting its first monthly gathering of the season to a seminar on artificial intelligence. Toby Simpson, chief technology officer of the global learning company Ososim, will lead the discussion. He will talk about biologically inspired intelligence, digital genetics and other aspects of machine intelligence. He has become something of a pioneer in the field after starting out in the early 90s as a creator of computer games.
