The threat and promise of artificial intelligence.

In this special edition of Melbourne Conversations, presented in partnership with The Wheeler Centre, 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 artmaking when machine learning begins to shape the world around us?

This contemplative discussion will be accompanied by a musical performance from Goldsworthy, presented as an artistic response to the ideas explored in her work, bringing theory into direct dialogue with human art making.

Hosted by Antonia Pont.
