"AI: Brains and Bits" is an interdisciplinary project funded by QMUL's Research Culture team. Bringing together researchers from across Science and Engineering (and Humanities later in 2026) we aim to find common ground across disciplines on the thorny issues of how AI works and how it should work, aka Fundamentals of AI.=0D=0A=
=0D=0A=
During 2026, there will be 3 QM-mostly Symposia, aiming to build bridges across the disciplinary and language barriers and formulate world-leading research questions to address.
LOCATION:Mile End Campus, E1 4NS (Maths and ITL buildings).
