  1. Liverpool LASER Talks - Electric Dreaming: The ethics of Artificial Intelligence and its role in creative practice

    As use of AI grows and new applications emerge, so do questions around its ethics. What are the ethical dilemmas which have emerge? How do we use AI for good? What examples are there and how do we learn more about these issues? In these LASER Talks we explore these issues from a number of perspectives including crises facing the arts sector, inclusion and the environment. Proposed solutions owe much to games culture in terms of audiences and interactive experiences. New audiences can be reached with new meaningful experiences, marginalised groups can use AI to reach beyond their challenges and entirely new approaches to protecting the natural world can emerge.

  2. ARI Seminar: Nikhil Sarin (Stockholm University)

    A neutron star binary merges somewhere in the Universe approximately every 10 to 1000 seconds, creating violent explosions potentially observable in gravitational waves and across the electromagnetic spectrum. The transformative coincident gravitational wave and electromagnetic observations of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 gave invaluable insights into these cataclysmic collisions and fundamental astrophysics. However, despite our high expectations, we have failed to see any other event like it. In this talk, I will highlight what we can learn from other observations of mergers seen directly in gravitational waves or indirectly as a gamma-ray burst and/or kilonova. I will also discuss the diversity in electromagnetic and gravitational-wave emission we can expect for future mergers and showcase tools to help maximally extract physics from existing and future observations.

  3. 7 reasons to study in Liverpool

    Liverpool is a magnet for students as a safe and affordable home from home. Here are just some of the reasons why Liverpool is a great student destination.

  4. Doing a PhD in sport sciences

    To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Research Institute for Sport and Exercise Sciences, we asked some of the students who completed their PhDs with the Institute over the last 20 years to share their stories.
