We are proud to announce Professor Michael Milford as the presenter for the inaugural CiTEL Community Lecture. The CiTEL Community Lecture series has been established as part of the Lourdes Hill College vision to bring high quality, academic speakers to our community to address contemporary issues. Preparing our educators and students for an uncertain future is an important goal at the College and has been embraced through our well-researched College Learning Futures Framework.
Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are no longer just Sci Fi movie fantasies, but are very real factors and highly relevant to all of us, especially our young people about to enter the new world of work. AI and robotics technology are profoundly altering the landscape of many professions and we are excited with the opportunity to have Michael Milford to help shed light on the challenges – and opportunities – ahead.
