Without strong regulations, ethical safeguards, and transparency, could these powerful technologies harm society more than they help it? Join this discussion about the future of artificial intelligence in an exclusive online event featuring the renowned computer scientist Dame Wendy Hall DBE, a global pioneer in AI, the Web, and data science, and Regius Professor of Computer Science at the University of Southampton.

School of Humanities presents the Inaugural Lecture of Professor James Minney | “Research, Practice, Practitioners and Educators”
‐
The University of Southampton's Faculty of Arts and Humanities is pleased to invite you to Professor James Minney's inaugural public lecture, which will take place on Thursday 28 November at 18:00 on the University of Southampton’s Avenue Campus. This talk will explore the complex and occasionally tense relationship between research and education in the context of higher education in the UK. It will then consider how higher education can inform professional practice, drawing specifically on James’s extensive experience as both a translator and as a linguist working with professionals in the aviation industry. James will then aim to “close the loop” by illustrating how insights from professional practice can stimulate further research which, in turn, can inform teaching and learning in higher education.
