Join us on Tuesday, April 2nd at 7pm in the Tahoma Room for a talk by Ted Chiang, award-winning science fiction author and one of Time Magazine‘s Top 100 Most Influential People in AI. His short story, “Story of Your Life”, was the inspiration for the hit film Arrival!
Chiang will delve into the fundamental question of whether artificial intelligence truly deserves to be called intelligence. He will explore the various applications of synthetic text and imagery and ponder the conditions necessary for these mediums to be considered artistic.
The lecture will be followed by a Q&A session, providing attendees the opportunity to engage with Chiang and delve deeper into the topics explored during the event.
This event is open to the public, and admission is free. However, due to limited seating, interested individuals are encouraged to arrive early to secure their spot.
Organized by the James Dolliver NEH Lecture Series in the Humanities and Artificial Intelligence, the Catharine Gould Chism Fund for the Humanities, and the Department of Philosophy.
