Come share your views on the topics of the night & Debate!
AI is changing quickly, and the conversation around it is changing just as fast. Join us for an interactive evening exploring three questions at the heart of the current AI moment. We’ll invite everyone to share their views, ideas, questions, and concerns. If the conversation turns into a debate, even better. This is not a traditional panel or a series of prepared presentations. It’s an open forum: a lightly moderated space where different perspectives can meet, questions can lead the discussion, and disagreement is welcome when it helps us think more clearly.
The three themes
1/Humans Are the New Bottleneck. Are we ready to give full control to AI?As AI systems become faster, more capable, and increasingly autonomous, human decision-making may become the limiting factor. Should we hand over more control to AI—and if so, where should we draw the line?2/All Your RAM Are Belong to Us: Should computing power become a strategic resource?In a world where better allocation of RAM could help cure cancer faster, develop new medicines, or accelerate scientific research, should computing resources be managed as a strategic state resource? Who gets access, and who gets to decide?3/The Great Job DisplacementIs it happening as we expected? Will it happen at all? AI is expected to transform the labour market, but is this transformation unfolding the way we imagined? Will AI lead to mass unemployment, new forms of work, or both? And is Schumpeter’s theory of creative destruction still relevant in the age of AI?
What to expect
→ Short introductions to each theme
→ An open, participatory discussion
→ Audience questions and contributions
→ Different perspectives, disagreement, and debate
→ Informal conversations and networking afterwards You don’t need to be an AI expert to participate. Bring a strong opinion, a half-formed thought, a question, or simply your curiosity.
Who should come
Founders, builders, researchers, artists, designers, students, policymakers, and anyone curious about where AI is heading. No technical background is required, and no preparation is expected. The format is designed for people who want to listen, think out loud, and take part in a collective conversation.
