Hidden Mathematics of AI: Why it Matters

Event Details:

• Date: 23 Apr 2025
• Time: 01:30 PM - 03:00 PM
• Location: UK , Leeds
• Type: Seminar

Behind every AI lies elegant mathematics. These systems don't truly "think" - they calculate from patterns learned from vast amounts of data. When AI produces incorrect information (hallucinations), it's not deliberately misleading you – it's making a statistical guess based on its training.

Tom will explain why hallucinations occur using clear examples:

• How AI generates text by predicting the next most likely word
• Why asking the same question twice can produce different answers
• The "lottery selection" process that introduces unpredictability

He'll also have visual aids to help explain these concepts in an accessible way.

Understanding this helps you use AI more effectively by crafting clearer questions and knowing when to verify information.

So, the next time you chat with an AI, remember you're engaging with a powerful mathematical system, restricted by its training data.
