About this Event

The Technomoral Conversations series brings together leaders, creators and innovators from academia, technology, business and the third sector in a ‘fireside chat’ format to discuss futures that are worth wanting.

Join us for the latest event in our Technomoral Conversations series: What's the Story with AI? Exploring AI Narratives.

During this fireside chat, we will hear critical insights from experts across academia and industry on the dominant narratives surrounding AI, and what alternative stories can and are being told about AI and its place in our futures.

Chaired by Dr Alex Taylor (University of Edinburgh), this Technomoral Conversation will feature Dr Abeba Birhane (Trinity College Dublin), Professor Louise Amoore (Durham University), and John Thornhill (Financial Times)!

This event is a collaboration between the Centre for Technomoral Futures, the Bridging Responsible AI Divides (BRAID) Programme and the Edinburgh Futures Institute.

Please note this is a hybrid event.

This event will be live-captioned. If you would like to attend with BSL interpreters, please let us know by contacting the event organisers at [email protected]
