Chief scientist talks about AI, machine learning
A special Cosmos Briefing panel including Dr Cathy Foley tackles some of the big future-science issues.
During a visit to Adelaide last week, chief scientist of Australia Dr Cathy Foley very kindly agreed to join a taped panel discussion at the Royal Institution of Australia about some of her favourite science topics – AI and machine learning, and quantum computing.
Hosted by Adelaide journalist and broadcaster Tory Shepherd, a regular contributor to cosmosmagazine.com, the panel included Foley, Dr Johan Verjans and Dr Vikram Sharma.
Verjans is a medical specialist who combines clinical and research work. He’s deputy director, Medical Machine Learning, at the Australian Institute for Machine Learning, a senior lecturer at the University of Adelaide and a consultant cardiologist at Royal Adelaide Hospital.
