Artificial intelligence, from the inside
Charlie followed the arrival of modern AI in real time. During the pandemic he was full-time Chief Creative Officer at Furhat Robotics, spending most of his time building integrations between AI and social robots. He has worked professionally with OpenAI's models since GPT-2, more than a year before ChatGPT came out.
Social robots and their near future
The subject of his talk at Web Summit 2021 in Lisbon, where the speakers also included Tim Berners-Lee and Garry Kasparov. Charlie has built, programmed and used robots on stage for over a decade.
