A Town Hall on AI
Artificial Intelligence is supposed to change everything. Depending on who you ask, it will cure cancer, eliminate drudgery, transform education, unlock human creativity, and solve problems we can’t yet imagine. It is also accused of stealing art, replacing workers, polluting the planet, supercharging surveillance, flooding the internet with slop, and making everyone slightly more suspicious of what is real. Most technologies arrive with promises and trade-offs, but the speed, scale, and impact of AI feel different. Join Museum of the Moving Image and the Financial Times Weekend Festival for a public town hall on Artificial Intelligence. Bring your questions, concerns, hopes, frustrations, and predictions to this public conversation with invited guest speakers from journalism, government, culture, and technology to wrestle with the question: is it worth it? Panelists: Aziz Isham, Executive Director, Museum of the Moving Image Madhumita Murgia, Artificial Intelligence Editor, Financial Times Senator Kristen Gonzalez, New York State Senate Organized by Gabo Arora, Director of Strategic Initiatives Free admission. RSVP here. Presented in partnership with the Financial Times Weekend Festival
