Janelle Shane is a Research Scientist and the creative mind behind AI Weirdness, a blog that uses humour to delve into the stranger side of AI.
We invited Janelle to talk at our latest Distinguished Speaker Series event, held in Dallas on the 17th October, where she spoke about What AI can do – and can’t.
In-keeping with her blog, which uses accessible and humorous examples of some of the issues AI can run into, Janelle showcased a number of AI shortcomings in her talk, which you can watch here.
We also took the opportunity to talk to Janelle one-to-one, to learn more about her background, the inspiration behind her blog, and why humour is so key to the way she communicates about AI.
The Distinguished Speaker Series
Throughout the year, we host a number of speakers as part of G-Research’s Distinguished Speaker Series.
We pride ourselves on our learning environment, which gives people the opportunity to develop personally and professionally within their roles, and our Distinguished Speaker Series is central to that.
We invite global experts in their fields to discuss their cutting-edge work with an audience of G-Research employees and guests, giving attendees the chance to learn from the best.
