CogX 2018

Cog_X_logo_Grey-01This week I took part in CogX 2018, a vibrant, buzzing, mind-expanding, sector-spanning festival around all things AI. The Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence AI Narratives Team used it as an opportunity to share our work with a wide audience. I hosted a panel called ‘”Stop the Terminator Chat” – How to Talk about AI And Avoid the Pitchfork Moment’ and we held a public workshop analysing representations of AI in the media, discussing the problems with them, and speculating on how such representation might be improved. I also had the pleasure of chairing another panel, ‘Can AI be Creative?’, which included some poetic, artistic and humorous challenges to the audience, to distinguish between human and artificial creativity. Both panels are available to watch online.
