Everyone’s talking about AI – most people have no idea what it actually is. Together we’ll look at the technology, ask who’s really got their hands on the wheel, and dream out loud about futures where that person isn’t Elon Musk.
AI will save the world. AI will destroy the world. AI will take your job (the one you didn’t want anyway). AI will make your job better…
Okay, but what actually is AI?
We start from scratch: What’s behind the buzzword, what can the technology do – and what can’t it, and why?
Then it gets uncomfortable: We look at the concentration of power, capital and the military, surveillance and the attack on creative work: What’s happening right now, and what parts of it are (un)avoidable?
With a combined lens of psychology and hacking, we dissect together what’s going wrong – and what could turn out surprisingly well, if the right people get involved.
And that could be us. Which is why after the talk there’s plenty of space for thinking together, arguing, and dreaming.
