Dear All,
Thought this upcoming event at the Irish Literary Society in London on Monday 28 Jan would be of interest to list members:
AI, Sci-Fi and the Future of Humanity,
28 Jan, 7.30pm Bloomsbury Hotel, 14-16 Great Russell Street, WC1B 3NN
https://irishlitsoc.org/event/28-jan-ai-sci-fi-and-the-future-of-humanity/
"The second half of our season kicks off with a timely look at how the rapid advance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is shaping our conceptions of the future of humanity. Three sparkling thinkers – Professor Rachel Armstrong, Julian Gough, and Mark O’Connell – join us to reflect on the mutual influence of science fiction and scientific development. At a moment when light is being shined on a formerly hidden tradition of Irish Sci-Fi (see Jack Fennell’s anthology of Irish Sc-Fi, A Brilliant Void) we consider the recent work of our guests and the literary, technical and moral challenges that are posed by rapidly advancing technology and its potential to take control of, well, everything."
