The AI Conference held at Bletchley Park on November 1-2, 2023, featured significant discussions on AI safety and ethics, with notable speakers including Elon Musk. Bletchley Park, historically known for its code-breaking efforts during World War II, now houses two museums: the primary Bletchley Park museum and The National Museum of Computing (TNMOC). The conference highlighted the relevance of Alan Turing's work in the context of modern AI, particularly in relation to the Turing Test. Insights from the event can be further explored through various articles discussing the implications of AI technology.
PREREQUISITESAI researchers, historians of computing, technology ethicists, and anyone interested in the intersection of AI development and historical context.
Damnit. Apologies. Elon Musk is giving a talk.Borg said:2022?
Corrected hopefully. I'm on the move..Borg said:2022?
YesWWGD said:Wasn't that the lab where Turing worked?
All his devices were technically Turing machine;).pinball1970 said:Yes
I went about 5 years ago. Worth a visit if you are ever in the UK. They have made it into a museum and visitors centre.WWGD said:Wasn't that the lab where Turing worked?
glappkaeft said:Bletchley Park is now two museums (both excellent and with very knowledgeable staff). The one called Bletchley Park where the AI event is (with Turing's office and many many other things on display) is focused on the WW2 code breaking.
The other one is The National Museum of Computing (TNMOC) that is focused on the computers/code breaking machines (the Bombe and Colossus) used at Bletchley as well as later computer history up to now. This includes having the systems up and running for at least part of the day including the Harwell Dekatron computer which must be the most visually awesome computer in the world.
