How Can Democracy Survive AI?

How Can Democracy Survive AI?

AI is transforming our world at rapid speed, raising urgent questions about who benefits, who loses, and how we keep control of the future.

While the boosters of AI are rushing to transform the world, citizens are being left in the slipstream, with little chance to influence how this new technology takes shape.

You’re invited to a free live discussion hosted by the Burning Platforms podcast where panellists explore the promises and pitfalls of AI - and what’s at stake for all Australians.

Our fun and interactive panel event will canvas the big questions and try to come up with a few answers before this juggernaut goes out of control.

Come along to meet and mingle with people who care.

- Learn about the Luddites and how the future can be contested

- Try to tell the difference between an AI and a human

- Ask the tough questions: who knows? who decides? and who decides who decides?

Featuring special guests from politics and entertainment.
