Toronto Summer Hangout (Topic: The Age of Artificial Intelligence)

Join us at The Well for a casual summer get-together. Our starting topic for discussion: The Age of Artificial Intelligence. How have you been using AI? Are you an AI optimist or pessimist? What are your hopes and anxieties about the technology? How will AI change society, culture, and politics? Will there be an AI apocalypse? Will AI change philosophy? What do you think of AI art and literature? Who will still have jobs? What other questions can AI come up with for us to discuss?

Come share your thoughts.

When we're done with the topic we can move on to something else.

You must RSVP to attend and your RSVP must be confirmed (not on the waiting list). Please cancel your RSVP if you are no longer attending. Please be courteous and on time.
