A event on Wednesday 24th April. The event starts at 19:30.


We explain how AI works and if it really is the 4th Industrial Revolution. We’ll go through what it can do for us, our health and how it may help combat climate change as well as the concerns regarding truth and democracy, employment, crime and data privacy. Will we get the balance right between innovation and protective regulation?

HEATHER CHILD, author of speculative fiction.
