About this event

Join us for the next edition of our monthly AI Philosophy Nights where we attempt communal sense-making.

Each month, we bring together philosophers, historians, technologists, artists and social scientists for a high-level fireside chat, followed by small-group salon style discussions.

This session: What are we talking to when we talk to AI?

In this session, our founder Banu Kellner sits down with Amy Kurzweil to explore different metaphors through which humans conceptualize artificial intelligence and investigate what these metaphors reflect about humanity.

6:30-7:00pm Doors Open. Drinks & light bites will be served. Doors will be closed at 7pm.

7:00-8:00pm Amy's presentation & fireside chat discussing metaphors for machine intelligence.

8:00-9:00pm Small Group Discussions. Break into small-group conversations to grapple with these questions together.

9:00-9:30pm Whole Group Conversation. We will come back together to share insights and further questions.
