Neuroscientist Dr Hannah Critchlow explores how we can nurture resilient, adaptable brains in an age of rapid technological change and AI
About this Event

How do we nurture our own β€” and our children’s β€” brains so we can thrive amid rapid technological and societal change?

How do we not just survive, but flourish, in the age of AI?

Neuroscientist Dr Hannah Critchlow invites us on a fascinating journey through the latest discoveries in brain science as she explores the ideas behind her new book, The 21st Century Brain. Drawing on cutting-edge research, she reveals why the skills that matter most in the decades ahead are curiosity, compassion, communication, courage and creativity.

Rather than competing with machines, she argues, we must lean into what makes us distinct β€” our capacity to collaborate, to intuit, to empathise and to imagine. In a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, our greatest advantage lies not in thinking more like machines, but in becoming more fully human.

Hannah will also be signing copies of her new book, The 21st Century Brain, which will be available to purchase on the night. This event takes place upstairs in the Nightingale Room, The Grand Central Pub, Brighton. Unfortunately there is no wheelchair access at this venue.
