Seen and not heard: the untold history of homelessness

Cardboard Citizens 77A Greenfield Road, London, United Kingdom

The scourge of homelessness and rough sleeping have been around for centuries, yet the stories of people who lack access to housing, sustenance or security are largely missing from the history books. On 22 November, theatre company Cardboard Citizens, in partnership with the Institute of Historical Research at the School of Advanced Study, UoL, will look to answer the question, ‘How can we find ways to listen to the voices of those who lack access to housing, sustenance or security?’.

Turing Lecture: AI through the looking glass

Artificial Intelligence is set to transform society in the coming decades in ways that have long been predicted by science fiction writers but are only now becoming feasible. While AI is still a long way from being as powerful as the human brain, many machines can now outperform human beings, particularly when it comes to analysing large amounts of data.
