Are you a year 12 girl and want to learn about Computer Science at University?

Register for the free 3-day discovery labs for female Year 12 students via the link in our bio or the QR code in the image. https://forms.cloud.microsoft/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=JOiIGLv-Z060Qy8zJhvH5KmQ9FCgbatPrVniw_QbKBxURUVDRFRNNUNWVVVONlJNWTBFMUpZT0xTQy4u&origin=QRCode&route=shorturl

The free three-day Discovery Labs, are designed for female Year 12 students from all study pathways (including A-levels, T-levels, BTECs, Access courses, or other computing-related programmes) who are interested in exploring Computer Science at University level.

We aim to engage and inspire female students, particularly those who are traditionally underrepresented in the professional community, to explore opportunities in Computer Science and consider future pathways in this field. This programme offers a valuable opportunity to connect with like-minded and motivated peers, while participating in a carefully designed experience that builds confidence, nurtures curiosity, and encourages their meaningful contribution to this exciting and evolving field of study and work.

The workshops will celebrate the breadth of Computer Science, covering topics such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics, Creative Coding, Data Science and Environmental Modelling, and Human–Computer Interaction. Students will also have the opportunity to hear from academic staff about their research, as well as gain valuable insights into future study and career pathways within the field.

The Discovery Labs will take place from Monday 14th December to Wednesday 16th December at the University of Sussex.

Apply early registration to avoid disappointment.

Excited to see our students take the stage at Ricardo for IMechE Speak Out for Engineering after a strong practice session today.
Sussex Engineering is about more than technical excellence. We work hard on the communication skills that let engineers explain complex ideas clearly, confidently, and inclusively — so every audience can follow the work.
Proud of this group. Good luck on the day.

AI changes us, and we change AI.
 
Last week Professor Ron Chrisley spoke at the 52nd Cernobbio Forum, ‘Intelligence on the World’, Europe, and Italy, at Villa d’Este on Lake Como.
 
He joined the session Today the World of Tomorrow – Frontiers of Science, moderated by Alec Ross. including speakers Fabiola Gianotti, former director general of CERN, Omar M.Yaghi, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry and Will Marshall, CEO and co-founder of Planet Labs.
Professor Chrisley argued that ‘we need to keep changing how we think about AI as rapidly as the technology is changing’ and gave five examples:

1. Changing from an AI as an oracle that supplies answers to an interlocutor that helps us think.

2. Changing from chatbots to systems working across many kinds of data.

3. Changing from systems trained on other people’s records of the world to situated systems with their own histories of perception and action.

4. Changing from prediction alone to richer architectures incorporating reasoning, memory and tools.

5. Changing from generating what is merely likely to generating what is appropriate for a particular person and purpose. (Which may be unlikely).
 
On a different topic in a RAI broadcast Professor Chrisley was asked by Monica Maggioni about how Artificial Intelligence was initially met with great enthusiasm but is now a source of major concern.
 
“The shift from enthusiasm to concern is predictable because public discussion tends to oscillate between overclaiming capability and overclaiming danger. The truth is somewhere in between. The challenge is to separate what current systems can actually do from where they remain brittle and to identify the risks that arise from the technology itself versus those that arise from how organisations deploy it.
 
Ron Chrisley is Professor of Cognitive Science and AI at the University of Sussex within the department of Informatics.

In the Summer we invited 6th form students for a day of work experience to our Media Technology Lab broadcast studios here in Informatics . Students worked across both studios filming and cutting live cameras as well as editing together footage.

Our visitors enjoyed the day learning to use the cutting edge facilities including cloud based production and broadcast cameras.
 
Computing for Digital Media students are able to use these facilities and more as part of their degree.
