      Guest Keynote: The Trouble with Automation
      Hannah Fry, Professor of the Public Understanding of Mathematics, Cambridge University
      We like to think of ourselves as master decision makers; as perfectly rational creatures, grounded in reason and logic. It’s a nice idea, but the reality is rather different. In truth, humans are a mess of competing incentives, of bad memories and of blind, impulsive biases. The modern era of data analytics is, in some sense, an attempt to automate our decision making, iron out some of the fallibilities and biases built in to our choices. But decisions driven by data have blind spots too. And all this leaves us to a conundrum: humans are flawed, machines are flawed. So who do we want to leave in charge of our decision making. Who should be the ultimate arbiter when there are very real dangers of leaving any one side in charge? This can be a session with lots of audience interaction, that aims to uncover some of the hidden flaws in our own decision making, as well as those of the systems we’ve built to replace us. It aims to explore some of the greatest ironies of automation and puts into perspective some of the hardest challenges facing the future. ... Show More Show Less

      Guest Keynote: How to Survive and Thrive in New Environments
      Tim Peake, Astronaut
      In 2016, Tim Peake returned from a six-month mission to the International Space Station. On this mission, he lived and worked in isolation, confined to a small space along with five other astronauts and dealt with the ever-present threat of space debris, fire or medical emergency raises many challenges. In order to psychologically prepare for this, he trained in extreme environments, including living underground for seven days in vast cave systems or spending twelve days on the ocean floor in an underwater habitat.
      Join us as Tim shares how his experiences gave him a unique insight into what it takes not just to survive but to thrive in isolation. According to Tim, ""It's important to embrace your new surroundings and make a positive mental adjustment in order to ‘normalize the abnormal.’” He demonstrates how structure and routine are key to daily life, where you must learn to focus on what you can achieve and not being distracted by factors that are outside of your control. Tim will share strategies to maintain positive mental attitude and good communication skills in new and different environments.       ... Show More Show Less
