Artificial intelligence is transforming our world. Hear the sparks fly as Mark Rayner and Abha Eli Phoboo collide pairs of the leading coders, neuroscientists, entrepreneurs, philosophers, psychologists and physicists who are shaping the future. Then join us for the first edition of the Sparks! Serendipity Forum at CERN (https://sparks.cern/) in September. CERN - the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is the largest particle physics laboratory in the world. Established in 1954, it is derived from the French acronym Conseil européen pour la recherche nucléaire. We probe the fundamental structure of the particles that make up everything around us.
