A radically hopeful, human-centred vision of the future of AI from one of the world's leading AI ethicists.

In this event, Dr Eleanor Drage will unpick the dominant narratives around artificial intelligence that drives the AI arms race, and reframes AI as a social, poiltical and ethical issue.

Bringing together feminism, reparative justice and climate politics, this talk offers an urgent, yet optimistic approach to one of the defining debates of our time.

The event will be followed by book sales and a signing with the author.

Tickets: £8

A wise and purpose-driven book to steer us out of AI doom.

Dr Eleanor Drage

Dr Eleanor Drage is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge’s Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence. One of the UK’s leading AI ethicists, her work has been covered by the BBC, the Guardian, Telegraph and Forbes, and she frequently speaks on radio and at AI conferences. She is host of The Good Robot Podcast, and a Top 100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics 2022.

It’s rare to find informed perspectives on AI that have both the imagination and the courage to counter the dominant narrative. This book makes space for possibility. Insightful, surprising and well-argued, it presents a refreshingly different take on AI and the futures it offers.
