The Dennis Gabor Lecture 2026 is a lecture titled "A collectivist, economic perspective on AI", held at Imperial College London's South Kensington Campus. It is the flagship event of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, honouring Dennis Gabor, the inventor of holography, with a series focusing on the impact of science and engineering on society. The speaker is Professor Michael I. Jordan of Inria Paris and the University of California, Berkeley, a leading researcher in computer science and statistics for over four decades, who will argue that intelligence lies as much in overall systems of cooperating humans and computers as in individual agents, and will discuss bringing microeconomic concepts into contact with computing, statistics and decision-making. The lecture is followed by a question and answer session, with a research poster session and refreshments around it, and is open to all on a first come first served basis.
