On May 20, 19.00, a lecture "AI & NATURE" by Professor Jonathan Ledgard will take place at the Center of Artificial Intelligence of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague (Karlovo náměstí 13, Prague 2). This will take place within the AI SPRING cycle and as an Innovation Week partner event.

Is Artificial Intelligence (AI) a New Form of Evolution? What will be its relationship to non-human forms of life? Will it help protect the living planet? And what can be the role of AI in ecology? Professor Jonathan Ledgard will answer these and other questions in his lecture, which will symbolically conclude his previous work at CTU in Prague. The theme will be presented in an exclusive world premiere and will be published in prestigious academic media and online.

The visiting professor of the Artificial Intelligence Centre is a leading futurist and co-author of concepts such as the award-winning Droneport Project, which he developed with Sir Norman Foster. He lectures at world conferences and universities and has worked as a foreign correspondent for The Economist for twenty years.

The AI & NATURE series is part of AI SPRINGseries of discussion evenings and part of the Innovation Week. With interesting guests, we look into a five-year-long future in which artificial intelligence will fundamentally affect our understanding of truth, the world of economics and natural forms.
