Big Ideas in the Pub: Reckoning with AI

  • Talk
  • Activity

Enjoy a stimulating evening of thoughtful engagement with the fascinating questions arising from AI’s accelerating influence on humanity and the living world.

The Oxford Scholar is the setting for relaxed conversation on an issue which will affect how we study, work, engage with others, and how we live and die. Tim Adalin, philosopher and host of the Voicecraft podcast and Underground Philosophy, will talk with Matt Kuperholz, an AI scientist and advisor with over 30 years of experience in the field.

Over dinner, conversation, and facilitated collective inquiry, these key issues will be considered:
• Whether and how AI can align with the values that people and humanity hold dear.
• Multipolar traps, the arms race pressures bearing upon the development of AI.
• What AI means for education, for work, for human relationships.

Hosted by Conversation at the Crossroads; the ticket price includes dinner.
