Colchester Charter Hall

Doors 6.30pm

Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant concept confined to Silicon Valley or science fiction. It is already changing the way we live, work, communicate and consume information. From the rise of ChatGPT and deepfakes to the impact AI is having on business, politics, education, media and the workplace, this technology is moving at extraordinary speed – and its influence is only set to grow.

Join Dr Alex Connock for a fascinating exploration of one of the most important developments of the modern age. What does this seismic shift really mean for society? What opportunities could AI create? Which industries are most at risk? How could it change creativity, jobs, truth, privacy and human relationships - and where should the limits be?

Thought-provoking, timely and packed with real-world insight, this is a live event for anyone who wants to better understand the forces shaping the future – and how artificial intelligence could change our lives forever.

Dr Alex Connock is a specialist in AI and the Media. He is a Senior Fellow at Oxford University and Professor at Exeter University.
