This will be a talk at Philo-Bytes @ NYGH: Inter-school Dialogues on 11th September 2025
Abstract: Computers have become an integral part of everyday life. Probably, right now, you’re reading this blurb on an electronic computing device. From humble beginnings, the computer has become a seemingly all powerful force. This feeling has been compounded in the last few years by the development of machine learning techniques, yielding powerful technologies for detecting cancer, learning new fields, and producing decent essays. This all raises the question: Is there anything computers can’t do? In this talk we’ll see some limitations of computers and computations, and discuss our place in a world where more and more tasks are delegated to them.
