Canopy Campfire: How Is AI Changing Your Life?
AI is changing how we work, create, communicate, learn and make decisions.
But is it changing our lives for the better? For sure there is good, bad and at sometimes ugly!
Join us for the next Canopy Campfire, an open and participatory conversation exploring how AI is affecting our lives — positively, negatively and in ways we may not yet fully understand.
This isn't a traditional panel discussion.
Four chairs. Three experts. One empty seat.
We'll begin with three invited experts taking their places around the Campfire. Each will share their perspective on how AI is affecting their work, their lives and the world around them.
Then we open the conversation.
There will always be four chairs but only three people sitting in them.
If you're in the audience and have something to contribute, simply get up and take the empty chair.
When you join the Campfire, one of the existing participants will return to the audience, creating another empty chair for someone else.
Another person can then join. Someone else steps out.
And the conversation keeps moving.
No long speeches. No permanent panel. No division between the people with something to say and the people expected to listen.
The rotation continues until we've exhausted the topic — or the hour is up!
We all have something to learn. We all have something to share.
AI is one of those subjects where nobody has all the answers.
You might be building with AI every day. You might be experimenting with it occasionally. You might be excited by what's happening, deeply concerned about it, or somewhere in between.
All of those perspectives belong around the Campfire.
Come to listen, question, challenge and share your own experience.
You don't need to be an AI expert to participate. The opportunity is there for everyone to take the fourth chair.
The Canopy team first encountered this conversational format at Google and has since incorporated it into events in Portugal, the UK and the USA.
We'll transcribe the conversation and publish a summary article afterwards on the Canopy blog, capturing the different perspectives, experiences and questions that emerge.
A big thank you to the team at Portugal Tech Week Palace for providing the venue and collaborating with Canopy to make this Campfire possible.
Four chairs. Three experts. One open conversation.
