TRuST Scholarly Network’s Conversations on Artificial Intelligence: Should It Be Trusted? | Live Event at Perimeter

Artificial Intelligence and big data are dramatically transforming the way we work, live and connect. Innovators have begun designing AI solutions to advance society at a rapid pace, but often new technologies bring both promise and risk. How can we trust AI and safeguard society from unintended consequences to ensure a safe and human-centred digital […]

A new milestone in the hidden world of low-energy physics

Perimeter researchers have established a new framework for determining whether any 2D quantum chromodynamic theory is gapped or gapless, offering insights into the dynamics of low-energy particle interactions that were previously out of reach.

Secrets of the Universe – Hiding in Plain Sight? Neil Turok Public Lecture

How did the universe begin? How did it evolve to what we see now? There was a time when few people believed such questions could even be posed in scientific terms. Now, as increasingly precise instruments deliver their treasure trove of data, the answers may be within reach. On Wednesday, October 25, Perimeter Director Emeritus […]
