In this Lunchtime Talk Vince Baidoo will explore both the good and the bad of AI and delve into some of the controversies that have arisen around it, such as the use of AI in art and the question of what constitutes "real" art.
AI is a technology that is rapidly advancing and has the potential to change our world in profound ways. However, like all new technologies, AI has both its benefits and its challenges. One aspect of AI that we will be examining is the way that it is helping neurodiverse individuals, as well as freelancers, managers, and leaders of all kinds. This includes chatbots like ChatGPT, which are designed to provide support and information in a conversational manner. However, we will also be discussing some of the challenges that AI is facing, such as planned obsolescence, gatekeeping, and selective outrage. These are important issues that we need to be aware of and understand if we are to make the most of this rapidly evolving technology.

Open Studio Fridays
From 10:00 - 17:00 you can stay at the Studio for Open Studio Fridays - join us to continue the conversation or work on your own projects. The Studio provides chairs, tables, wireless and a great space. You bring what you need to work with (laptop/mobile). Tell us what you’re up to, or allow us to facilitate conversations within the resident community. Studio staff and residents will be around to chat, answer questions, or tell you more about what we do. The open afternoons close at 17:00, sometimes with a trip to the Café & Bar.
Where to find us
The Lunchtime Talks take place in the Pervasive Media Studio, which is in the Watershed building. The Studio is just beyond the Café & Bar, turn right and then go down the corridor to your left (where the toilets are). The double doors here will be open, go all the way down until you reach the Studio. A member of staff will sign you in, and check your ticket, if you have booked.
