Contemporary AI systems such as ChatGPT seem to offer articulate, wide-ranging expertise — yet beneath the surface, they fail many basic tests of rational intelligence. In this engaging talk, Professor Michael Wooldridge (Fellow of AISB) explores how these systems actually work and why they display such strange, inconsistent, and often entertaining behaviour. He will contrast today’s AI with classical ideas of logic and reason, and discuss what these developments mean for the future frontiers of artificial intelligence — and for the enduring dream of truly intelligent machines.
