AI Philosophy Nights: Invention of Tomorrow
Join us in this kick-off event of our monthly AI Philosophy Nights where we attempt communal sense-making.
Each month, we will bring together philosophers, historians, technologists, and social scientists for a high-level fireside chat, followed by small-group salon style discussions.
First Session: The Invention of Tomorrow
In this opening event, our founder Banu Kellner sits down with Tamim Ansary, award-winning author of The Invention of Yesterday. In his book Tamim traced how shared narratives wove the tapestry of human history, in this session we'll discuss the narratives of today weaving the future.
What story are we really in the middle of now?
6:30-7:00pm Doors Open. Drinks & delicious bites will be served. Doors will be closed at 7pm.
7:00-8:00pm Fireside Chat. Banu & Tamim will discuss how stories shape our reality and what stories we are telling ourselves around AI.
8:00-9:00pm Small Group Discussions. Break into small-group conversations to grapple with these questions together.
9:00-9:30pm Whole Group Conversation. We will come back together to share insights and further questions.
