Can Bourgeois Values Save Britain? James Vitali on Ownership and Obligation (opens the original)

Perhaps the biggest challenge in the mix may not be the technology itself, but how it changes the way we think, communicate, and relate to each other as humans. We’re creating some space for a different kind of conversation about AI with Jamie Bartlett on 8th September in London. We’d love to see you there! 🔗 Grab a ticket here: https://www.eventbrite.co
