In the historic Pilkington Building on the Medway Campus, Senior Lecturer in Mathematics of the University of Greenwich Dr Neil Saunders will deliver his highly topical talk Mathematics, Memetics and Artificial Intelligence: An Exploration Through Performance.

With help from a team of professional actors, Dr Saunders will aim to answer a key question - does artificial intelligence understand language the way we do?

For a glimpse of what you might expect from this skilled public speaker and mathematician, why not watch his popular Ted Talk on the links between daydreaming and mathematics (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5WRijL6TV0) or join him on an exploration of how mathematics links with the world in our new mini-documentary (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=872PjIKkcts).

Medway Talks are a new open lecture series run by leading experts of the Universities at Medway - University of Greenwich, University of Kent and Canterbury Christ Church University.
