Events › AI Book Discussion Series

Does artificial intelligence spell humanity's end or will it prove to be humanity's last hope? Perhaps the answer is neither. In this limited series book discussion we will read literature that explores the comic, absurd, practical, and hypothetical dimensions of AI and what it means for our future.

Choose fiction, nonfiction, graphic novel (or all three) and join the conversation on the third Tuesday evening of the month starting in February.

February 17: Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz or You Look Like a Thing and I Love You by Janelle Shane or The Infinity Particle by Wendy Xu

March 17: Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor or The Worlds I See by Dr. Fei-Fei Li or Be More Chill by Ned Vizzini

April 21: Culpability by Bruce Holsinger or Searches: Selfhood in the Digital Age by Vara Vauhini or Artificial by Amy Kurzweil
