Next Tuesday, March 26th, I will have the opportunity to deliver a talk at the Valladolid Science Museum, as part of the IX cycle ‘Incredible… but false’, and I will talk to you about the evolution of Artificial Intelligence and its uses, the world of intelligent and connected machines, the current importance of this technology and its real risks.

Although AI has been thriving in different sectors for several years now, it continues to make headlines. The news keeps talking of its unfathomable benefits and countless applications, and it remains at the forefront of technological innovation.

However, it is important that we ask ourselves about the reality behind this media buzz. How does artificial intelligence actually affect our lives? Will intelligent machines dominate us or will we be forced to live in a global Big Brother?

I will address these doubts and share my opinion with you in the Auditorium of the Museum, admission is free until full.
