CGTA Distinguished Public Lecture by Kevin Buzzard: "How will AI change mathematics?"

Thursday 19 June 2025 - 5pm

 ABSTRACT. There’s no shortage of headlines proclaiming that AI will soon revolutionise everything — including mathematics — and leave no profession untouched. But what’s really happening behind the scenes? In this accessible, hype-free talk, Professor Kevin Buzzard invites you into the daily life of a research mathematician to explore what we actually do, and how close AI is to doing — or even assisting with — that work.  The reality is complex. While there have been exciting breakthroughs and glimpses of real potential, there are still no definitive, game-changing tools that mathematicians can rely on. Is AI poised to reshape the field, or are current advances reaching their limits? Kevin will share a clear-eyed look at the evidence so far. No technical background in AI or mathematics is needed — just curiosity.

To prevent obesity or smoking initiation among teenagers, who should be targeted in an intervention? How can we contain the spread of an infectious disease under limited resources? Who should be vaccinated first in order to be most effective during vaccination shortages? How can we dismantle a terrorist organization, a drug distribution network or disrupt the communication flow of a criminal gang?

Social network analysis offers the theoretical framework and the appropriate methodology to answer questions like these by focusing on the relationships between and among social entities. Unlike transitional research methods, we shift the object of study from the individual as the unit of analysis, to the social relations that connect these individuals.

This course explores how to use appropriate software to acquire measurements for these concepts in the data and use them rigorously in empirical hypothesis testing. The majority of the course will focus on descriptive methods of network analysis, but we will also discuss network-specific models and inferential methods for network analysis.

The course is being run by the National Centre for Research Methods, which is based in the Faculty of Social Sciences.

We are pleased to announce that we have secured a guest lecture speaker, Professor B Mairéad Pratschke, who is an internationally renowned expert in AI and Education and we invite you to attend this talk on Tuesday 22 July 2025 11:00 -12:00. The event is hybrid and will be recorded for colleagues who cannot join us, but we highly recommend attending in person where possible.

Generative AI’s unique capabilities enable the development of new hybrid human-AI models of education, in which educators interact and collaborate with AI to design and deliver learning that is personalised and adaptive but still grounded in the educator’s domain expertise. In this talk, Mairéad Pratschke will present key ideas from her book, Generative AI and Education: Digital Pedagogies, Teaching Innovation and Learning Design (Springer, 2024).

Mairéad will introduce the learning theories and digital frameworks that educators can use to design learning using generative AI, as well as the key concepts that guide her work, including the new hybrid, generativism and intelligent communities. She will provide insights from recent research that shed light on the approaches and techniques that make the critical difference between efficacy and inefficacy when it comes to the use of generative AI in education. Finally, looking beyond formal education to employability, Mairéad will offer a glimpse at some of the cutting-edge applications of AI in industry, and consider the implications for the future-focused design of learning.

This event was organised by the CHEP Assessment Consultancy as part of the Advancing Assessment SMP.

The correct pronunciation of a Chinese student’s name and an understanding of its meaning is great way to establish an instant dialogue and effective rapport which paves the way for a far more productive learning experience.

In my experience, even those completely new to the Chinese language can learn to pronounce Chinese names within a very short space of time and this seminar will assume no prior knowledge of the Chinese language at all.

Chinese students studying outside China often assume that those around them not only lack knowledge of their culture but also lack interest too. By improving our ability to pronounce Chinese names and develop some understanding of their meaning we will break down these barriers very quickly and permanently.

By the end of this event, participants should gain:

• An ability to pronounce Chinese (Pinyin) names much better where the sound is much closer to the sound produced by a native Chinese speaker

• An understanding of the most common male and female Chinese names, forenames and family names

• An understanding of the prepresentation of Chinese names

• An understanding of the meaning of common Chinese name
