Can all intellectual endeavour be explained, and pursued, in terms of algorithms? Read Sandy Starr's expert lecture from the Battle of Ideas festival 2024...
Very good lecture. Today many see "tech" and "algorithms" as being outside of humanity. Something "other". The fact that technology and algorithms is simply part of human capability, and enables us to go beyond our current capabilities is important.
Being pro-tech or pro-ai IS being pro-human.
This lecture really helps contextualize the use of math in science and the use of science in progress and development. And its all human.
