Brian Edward Cox is physicist who serves as professor of particle physics in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester. He is best known to the public as the presenter of science programmes, especially the Wonders of... series and for popular science books, such as Why Does E mc²? and The Quantum Universe. He has been the author or co-author of over 950 scientific publications.

It may sound like the plot from the latest science fiction blockbuster, but uploading your brain onto a computer to achieve immortality could soon become a reality. In a new interview, Professor Brian Cox said that the technique, known as'technological singularity' could be available sooner than you think. Professor Cox said that he found'no reason at all' why human intelligence couldn't be simulated by computers - although he did not express a timeline for this to happen. In a new interview, Professor Brian Cox said that the technique, known as'technological singularity' could be available sooner than you think To replicate the mind digitally we would have to map each of these connections, something that is far beyond our current capabilities. Even if we could create such a'wiring diagram' for a living brain, that wouldn't be enough to understand how it operates.

We're beginning to see more and more jobs being performed by machines, even creative tasks like writing music or painting can now be carried out by a computer. But how and when will machines be able to explain themselves? Should we be worrying about an artificial intelligence taking over our world or are there bigger and more imminent challenges that advances in machine learning are presenting here and now? Join Professor Brian Cox, the Royal Society Professor of Public Engagement, as he brings together experts on AI and machine learning to discuss key issues that will shape our future.
