Professor Dame Sue Black DBE is a forensic anthropologist, anatomist and academic and is currently the President of St John’s College Oxford, and Visiting Professor of Computing and Communications at Lancaster University, having previously been Pro-Vice Chancellor at Lancaster University.
She attended the University of Aberdeen where she graduated with a BSc degree with honours in human anatomy in 1982, and a PhD degree for her thesis on 'Identification from the Human Skeleton' in 1986.
Having been a lecturer in Anatomy at St Thomas' Hospital between 1987 and 1992, Sue then spent a decade working for the UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and the United Nations, on the identification of victims and perpetrators of various conflicts. In 1999 she became the lead forensic anthropologist to the British Forensic Team in Kosovo and in 2003 she undertook two tours to Iraq. In 2005 Sue participated in the United Kingdom's contribution to the Thai Tsunami Victim Identification operation as part of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami international response.
Sue has been an innovator in developing techniques and building databases to confirm or disconfirm someone's identify identity based on photographs of their hands or arms. This technique has become important in prosecution cases where the accused have taken photographs of their actions. In 2009, Sue used vein pattern analysis to confirm the identify of a suspect; the first time that the technique was used in a criminal conviction.
As an author, Sue has published numerous works including her latest book, ‘Written in bone: Hidden stories in what we leave behind’. She was a founder of The British Association for Human Identification and The British Association for Forensic Anthropology; has been elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, The Royal Anthropological Institute and The British Academy; and is life-time Professor of Anatomy for the Royal Scottish Academy.
Sue is married with three children and features in a larger-than-life portrait by Ken Currie titled Unknown Man which hangs in the National Galleries of Scotland in Edinburgh, while crime writer Val McDermid used Sue as inspiration for a character in her book ‘The skeleton road’.

Professor Dame Sue Black DBE is a forensic anthropologist, anatomist and academic and is currently the President of St John’s College Oxford, and Visiting Professor of Computing and Communications at Lancaster University, having previously been Pro-Vice Chancellor at Lancaster University.
She attended the University of Aberdeen where she graduated with a BSc degree with honours in human anatomy in 1982, and a PhD degree for her thesis on 'Identification from the Human Skeleton' in 1986.
Having been a lecturer in Anatomy at St Thomas' Hospital between 1987 and 1992, Sue then spent a decade working for the UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and the United Nations, on the identification of victims and perpetrators of various conflicts. In 1999 she became the lead forensic anthropologist to the British Forensic Team in Kosovo and in 2003 she undertook two tours to Iraq. In 2005 Sue participated in the United Kingdom's contribution to the Thai Tsunami Victim Identification operation as part of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami international response.
Sue has been an innovator in developing techniques and building databases to confirm or disconfirm someone's identify identity based on photographs of their hands or arms.

'My AI Life' - Professor Mike Wooldridge reveals the huge role AI already plays in our daily lives, sometimes without us even realising what it is doing.
This is the second of the 2023 CHRISTMAS LECTURES from the Royal Institution, supported by CGI, on the theme 'The Truth About AI'.
We've reuploaded this one as there were moments where the original video froze.
With thanks to contributors Kaushik Subramanian (Sony AI) Polyphony Digital (Gran Turismo), Kaitlin and Freya the dog (Encore Dogs), Demis Hassabis (Alpha Go, Deepmind), Emily Grossman, Rutger Zietsma (Manus Neurodynamica), Rory Cellan Jones, Ana Namburete (University of Oxford), Rivka Isaacson (King's College London), Martin Grady, Kathryn Tunyasuvunakool (Alpha Fold), Eric Drass.
Watch the first lecture here: https://youtu.be/Abbli3B8phw
Watch the third lecture here: https://youtu.be/B3IeRplsYXw
In the 2023 CHRISTMAS LECTURES, supported by CGI, Mike Wooldridge will tackle the most important and rapidly evolving field of science today – Artificial Intelligence (AI). Find out more about the lectures here: https://www.rigb.org/christmas-lectures
Not since the World-Wide Web emerged 30 years ago has a new technology promised to change our world so fundamentally and so swiftly as AI does. Today’s AI tools such as ChatGPT and AlphaGo are just a hint of what is to come. The future of AI is going to be quite a journey, and the 2023 CHRISTMAS LECTURES to be broadcast on BBC Four and iPlayer in late December, will give us a guided tour.
AI has increasingly grabbed the headlines in recent years – generating excitement and concern in equal measure – but what should we believe? In these lectures Mike will reveal how AI works and how it will affect our lives – and will tackle head-on our hopes and fears for this most fascinating of fields.

Hear more from the 2023 CHRISTMAS LECTURER, Mike Wooldridge, as he explains what Artificial Intelligence is.
This year's CHRISTMAS LECTURES are on the theme 'The Truth About AI' - find out more at https://www.rigb.org/christmas-lectures
Initiated by Michael Faraday when organised education for children was scarce, the CHRISTMAS LECTURES established an exciting new way of presenting science to young people. World-famous scientists have given the Lectures, including Nobel Prize winners William and Lawrence Bragg, Sir David Attenborough, Carl Sagan and Dame Nancy Rothwell.
First broadcast in 1936, the CHRISTMAS LECTURES is the oldest science television series. They have been broadcast every year since 1966 on the BBC and in later years on Channel Five, Channel Four and more4. In 2010, the Lectures returned to BBC Four, and this year will be broadcast on BBC FOUR and iPlayer from the 26th December. If you're outside the UK, we'll be uploading them to this channel in late December.

Join 2023 CHRISTMAS LECTURER Michael Wooldridge for a fascinating discussion on the possibilities and challenges of generative AI models, and their potential impact on future societies. Find out more about the CHRISTMAS LECTURES here: https://www.rigb.org/christmas-lectures
00:00 What is machine learning?
05:54 How do neural networks work?
12:49 How Silicon Valley money created Big AI
14:50 The birth of Transformer Architecture
16:06 How was GPT-3 trained and created?
22:12 A massive step change in AI
25:45 How GPT-3 passed the 90s AI reasoning test
28:40 How has AI learned things it wasn't taught?
31:07 Chat GPT and how NOT to use it
32:26 Why do LLMs get things wrong so often?
35:29 The problems of bias and toxicity
39:12 Copyright issues with LLMs
42:23 Interpolation vs Extrapolation
45:44 Is this the dawn of General AI?
49:19 The different varieties of General AI
54:01 What actually is human general intelligence?
56:07 Is machine consciousness possible?
------
In partnership with The Alan Turing Institute we've been exploring the various angles of large-language models and generative AI in the public eye. Across three lectures, we aim to provide a comprehensive, thoughtful and engaging understanding of this rapidly emerging field and its impact on society.
Watch the first lecture here: https://youtu.be/_6R7Ym6Vy_I
And the second lecture here: https://youtu.be/s3_P22qf0IM

Michael Wooldridge is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Oxford. He has been an AI researcher for more than 30 years, and has published more than 400 scientific articles on the subject. He is a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), a Fellow of the Association for the Advancement of AI (AAAI), and a Fellow of the European Association for AI (EurAI).

Discourses are one of the Ri’s oldest and most prestigious series of talks. Since 1825, audiences in the theatre have witnessed countless mind-expanding moments, including the first public liquefaction of air by James Dewar, the announcement of the electron by JJ Thomson and over 100 lectures by Michael Faraday. In more recent times, we have had Nobel laureates, Fields medal winners, scientists, authors and artists – all from the cutting-edge of their field. Discourses are an opportunity for the best and brightest to share their work with the world.
Steeped in nearly two centuries of tradition, a Discourse is more than just a lecture. The Discourse lasts exactly an hour, and a bell is rung to mark the beginning and end. To keep the focus on the topic, presenters begin sharply at 7:30pm without introduction and we lock the speaker into a room ten minutes ahead of the start (legend has it that a speaker once tried to escape!). Some of our guests and speakers dress smartly for our Discourse events to add to this sense of occasion.
