Who's Afraid of AI? Arts, Sciences, and the Futures of Intelligence

Who's Afraid of AI? is designed to encourage a vigorous interdisciplinary dialogue among a diverse group of experts in technology, the humanities, and the arts. Speakers will be invited to respond to core questions about AI, its capabilities, possibilities and dangers, bringing their unique research, creation, scholarship and experience to the discussion. They will then dialogue with the other speakers on the panel, enabling an interdisciplinary conversation on the topic. These topics include the implications of AI in the contexts of theories of mind and embodiment, its influence on our understanding of creation, innovation, and discovery, its ability to recognize diversity and include different perspectives, and its transformation of our artistic, political, cultural and everyday practice.
