Agenda

Fiona walks us through the latest developments - NotebookLM that simulates a podcast - and pulls apart what is actually meant by "sentience". What it is, how do we know it's happening.

Moment of Learning about AI

We are joined by experts in the field of both Human and AI: Philosophy, Psychology, AI Developers, AI Trainers. They will each start by defining "sentience" for either AI or for us, and then engage in a lively debate over the similarities, differences and what the consequences mean for us all.

Panel Discussion

Participants will have the chance to ask questions and comment.

Open Q&A 

Engage in conversation with your fellow Sentient Humans! Have some wine and cheese and enjoy the company.

Networking and (definitely) the need for more wine
