Toby Walsh is an Old Felstedian and a leading researcher in Artificial Intelligence. Toby is a Laureate Fellow and Scientia Professor of Artificial Intelligence in the School of Computer Science and Engineering at UNSW Sydney, and he also leads the Algorithmic Decision Theory group at CSIRO Data61. 

Toby was named by the Australian newspaper as a "rock star" of Australia's digital revolution and regularly appears in the media talking about the impact of AI and robotics on society. He has been a leading voice in the discussion about lethal autonomous weapons (aka killer robots) speaking at the UN in New York and Geneva on the topic.  Toby’s twitter account has been voted one of the top ten to follow to keep abreast of developments in Artificial Intelligence. Toby’s latest book Machines Behaving Badly is due to be published in May 2022 and we look forward to hearing more about that today.
