Melbourne Conversations: The God We Made – Now or Never
Author and musician Anna Goldsworthy discusses the implications of artificial intelligence on what makes us human – and why AI may be our most persuasive God yet.
In this special edition of Melbourne Conversations, presented in partnership with Now or Never, author and musician Anna Goldsworthy discusses her new Quarterly Essay, The God We Made. Here, she considers how artificial intelligence is reshaping culture in its own image.
What does it mean for creativity, connection and art making when machine learning begins to shape the world around us?
This contemplative discussion will be accompanied by a musical performance from Goldsworthy, composed as an artistic response to the ideas explored in her work, bringing theory into direct dialogue with human art making. Hosted by Antonia Pont.
Date: Thursday 27 August
Time: 6:00pm
Venue: The Edge, Fed Square, The Atrium Flinders Street Federation Square, Melbourne, VIC, 3000
