Sussex Universe presents AI Christmas Lecture: Teaching Computers to See the World

Join Dr Phil Birch for the Sussex Universe family-friendly AI Christmas lecture. It will take us to the heart of how computers learn to see the world and unpack the mind-blowing history of computer vision. Have you ever wondered how your phone recognises your face, or how self-driving cars spot a pedestrian? We will travel from the early days of computers simply trying to name objects to the cool tech that tracks human poses and activities in video games and sports. Finally, we’ll explore the cutting-edge "foundational models" that allow AI to understand our visual world like never before.
