See all- Is this AI’s Black Mirror Moment?Sydney Opera House, Sydney
AI – friend or faux?
In the wake of social media’s role in fuelling division and misinformation, we now face a new frontier—one that blurs the boundaries between reality and illusion. Are we hurtling into the future of artificial intelligence before we have even recovered from the digital chaos caused by social media?
Join Dr Karl and a panel of leading experts as they delve into the urgent questions surrounding AI’s rapid rise where:
- Large language models are prone to hallucination, confidently generating fiction disguised as fact.
- Deepfakes distort visual reality.
- AI’s unnervingly fluent speech creates the illusion of connection, while quietly reshaping how we relate to others, and to truth itself.
As machines grow more human in tone, we’re turning to it not just for information, but for guidance, companionship, even comfort. But could this growing dependence be making us lonelier, more deluded and dangerously misinformed? Are we becoming more connected or more isolated? Could our increasing reliance on intelligent machines be quietly altering how we think, feel, and relate to one another?
This thought-provoking discussion will explore how these technologies are reshaping not only our world, but our relationships, our trust in truth, and even our sense of self.
Don’t miss this timely conversation on the promises and perils of AI.
