How do we navigate a world in which AI quietly decides what we see and believe and technology drives deeper division and more arguments? This talk unpacks the tech and ethics of AI, how we form different views, how to spot misinformation and, above all, how to argue respectfully.
#Booking Form for School Groups
We recommend school groups use the booking form to secure a place for your students. You can book an individual session, or a three-session bundle deal for a full day of programming, via the form. Complimentary teacher tickets can also be claimed this way.
