HawKins Lab

AI that can see, hear, read and create.

The overview

Who this lodge is for

Anyone curious about AI that sees, hears and creates. No coding background needed — only curiosity!

Why join

Our lodge focuses on understanding and using AI that can see, hear, read and create across text, images, audio and video. You'll explore how multimodal models interpret different types of input — from image recognition and describing photos to transcribing and summarising audio — then move into AI-generated images, music and video, prompting across formats, and combining modalities into one workflow. We'll also cover the limits and risks, including hallucinations, bias in image generation and deepfakes, so you learn to use these tools responsibly.

  • Image recognition & describing photos
  • Transcribing & summarising audio
  • AI-generated images, music & video
