The Truth About AI: Tickets for this year’s Ri Christmas lectures (in person, or at one of several streaming venues)

This year’s Royal Institution Christmas Lectures will be particularly relevant to computer science teachers; the topic is “The Truth About AI” and the lectures will be given by Prof Mike Woolridge.

Your students can apply to the ballot for tickets (which opened on 14th September).

“Due to their popularity, tickets to the filming are made available through a ballot open exclusively to Ri Young Members, Members and Patrons, as a thank you for their support throughout the year. Tickets are also made available for free to UK registered schools in disadvantaged communities.

The 2023 ballot opens on Thursday 14 September and closes on Wednesday 11 October.”

The live theatre where the lectures will be given (and recorded for later broadcast) has a limited capacity BUT there are a number of venues around the UK that will be livestreaming a feed from the theatre, and Queen Mary University of London is one of those venues! We’ll share more information about our venue and how to get tickets soon.

So there are THREE ways to watch the Ri Christmas Lectures

1. Live in-person with the ballot
2. Live not-in-person at one of the streaming venues (details to be confirmed, QMUL will be one of them)
3. Not live and not in person – watching on BBC Four or on iPlayer over the Christmas holidays when the lectures are broadcast by the BBC.
