Greenbelt: AI and You

Events Projects Short stories Thoughts and speculation 1 Comment

At the Greenbelt festival this year I’ve been asked to lead a workshop on AI, as part of the William Temple Foundation strand of the festival.

The description of the session is:

AI and You

An interactive session to discover, discuss and design your future. Explore the role of AI now and its future potential, both the good possibilities and the bad. Could AI help you in your exams?  Or to be healthier? Could it reduce the energy we use? Could it replace your teacher? Or even the police?

The age range for participants is 12 to 17 and by the end of the workshop they should be in a position to write a short story set in or around 2044.

Workshop participants – you can post your stories as a comment below.
