The Human Algorithm: Ethics, Empathy, and Innovation at the Human-Tech Frontier

In healthcare, biased or incomplete data is common - but generative AI offers new opportunities. Can it reveal blind spots, challenge biases, or enhance human clinical decisions? More importantly, should it?

AI models learn from humans, including their flaws. Using AIs means relying on hidden biases, so it's essential to detect and mitigate them. We test models for biases—or perhaps our own.

Human emotions can shape, and are shaped by virtual environments. This talk will explore how physiological and behavioural information can be utilised alongside AI to create adaptive Extended Reality experiences tailored to the user's mood in real time.

Do you know what’s inside your phone battery? Would you trade in your iPhone battery for a more environmentally friendly version, even if it meant shorter battery life? How much of an explosion risk is too much? Safety and performance are constantly in a tug-of-war when developing a new battery. Safe, powerful AND sustainable. How can we do it all? This talk delves into the very battery that powers our pockets, examining its advantages and shedding light on its hidden costs.
