Public Symposia

The NAOInstitute hosts an ongoing series of informal symposia intended to bring intelligence research to the wider public in an easily digestible format. Each symposium has a single topic discussed by an expert panel, and an open Question and Answer session with the public. The first symposium in 2023 discussed the concerns and fears around future automation in the workplace and what it will mean for all of us.

Lecture Series

Starting in 2023, the NAOInstitute has hosted an annual academic lecture series, presenting four lectures over the course of a month, centred around a specific topic in intelligence research. The lectures are open to the public but with a distinct academic slant to showcase the latest research findings in natural, artificial and organisational intelligence. The speakers are drawn from across New Zealand as well as international guests.
