BeatBlocks is a new app for iOS that enables you to build music in real-time with traditional children's building blocks.

Putting the engineering in prompt engineering

“Prompt engineering is the practice of designing inputs for generative AI tools that will produce optimal outputs.” - Mckinsey But what is optimal? Optimal for who? And how do we know we have succeeded? It is vital to ask these questions about our prompts and the solutions we embed them in if we are to deliver AI solutions that are trustworthy and inclusive. Learn more about what makes a successful prompt, why you should set up proper experiments to test your prompts, and what those experiments might look like. Come to the stand to try for yourself, getting hands-on with prompting in WatsonX. We are a multi-disciplinary team from IBM, who work extensively with generative AI. We are passionate about building ethical AI, and using this exciting new generative AI technology in the right way. But we are always learning, so we also want to hear from you: what do you think is important to test for? What experiences do you have that are often overlooked?

JISC

"Jisc’s National Centre for AI in Tertiary Education will be attending The Scottish AI Alliance at Dynamic Earth and are pleased to be able to share their interactive AI demos where users can get hands-on with some of the cutting-edge use cases of AI. Some of the demos will include our Face Emotion Detector, Essay Writer, and Automated Image Classifier using AI tools from Microsoft, Google, Amazon and OpenAI. Members of the team will be on hand to discuss all things AI and Education and to guide users through interacting with the demos."

Mapping Trustworthy AI Landscapes

Despite broad stakeholder agreement that the future of AI should be trustworthy, ethical, and inclusive, there remains ambiguity, and tensions in what this future should look like. Questions remain about whose perspectives will shape this landscape, and how these principles are practiced across the AI ecosystem. This event intends to embrace this ambiguous, complex, contextual, and shifting landscape by using an interactive activity to ask: what would a trustworthy AI island look like? Participants will be provided with a picture of an island and craft materials (stickers, photos, newspapers, etc) and be asked to create a collage or montage of their trustworthy AI island. Participants will be asked questions to prompt reflection, such as: where are the areas of trustworthy or untrustworthy terrain? Where are the ‘hidden treasures’ which can facilitate trustworthy AI development and deployment? Where are the borders of a trustworthy landscape? This activity is informed by research undertaken as part of the UKRI Making Systems Answer Project: Dialogical Design as a Bridge for Responsibility Gaps in Trustworthy Autonomous Systems.

ContestAI

We do not always know when we are interacting with an AI system or how our data is being used. As models get larger and more complicated both users and AI companies have an interest in tracking unwanted behaviours.  ContestAI is a platform created by the British Standards Institution (BSI) to interact with AI and empower users to challenge it when it behaves in an unexpected or unwanted way – scroll your AI newsfeed or play an interactive AI game.  BSI is the National Standards Body for the UK. We bring together stakeholders from across the UK – including Scotland – such as regulators, industry, academia and consumers, to agree what good looks like. BSI convenes the UK AI committee, which participates in UK international standards development. 

Painting Music

An application that allows audiences to create their own interactive ‘performance’ by creating musical scores from their drawings through the Painting Music software.
