About this Event

⚠️Please note: due to lift maintenance in June, this event on Level 1 is accessible only via 2 flights of stairs.

AI may be our most persuasive God yet. At the same time, it forces a confrontation with what it means to be human: bodies, fragility, memory. It raises questions about human connection, leisure and learning, and brings new existential and ethical risks.

In this important and timely essay, Anna Goldsworthy explores the implications of AI for art, culture and the self.
