The new age of empiricism | Julia King

http://www.huxleysummit.org Do we still need scientists in an age where it takes seconds for machines to find patterns in huge datasets? Julia King, Baroness Brown of Cambridge DBE, explains the limits of complex models, and questions whether we can trust their predictions. The Huxley Summit took place on 8 November 2016 at BAFTA in London on the theme of ‘trust in the 21st century’. The Summit was produced by the British Science Association, and provided leaders both within and beyond science, to question, debate and agree radical new ways to build trust in science and technology to advance society.
