This event brings thought leaders together to address human flourishing and agency in times of AI. Recent transformations in AI-driven societies have raised new questions about the direction of human thinking, creativity, and emotions that will impact current and future generations in ways that are still uncertain. The panel of experts in AI will engage with key questions, dialogue, and debate about the risks and opportunities for education and Australian society in a world of automation. We offer a vision for reclaiming positive human flourishing and agency, critically navigating the complexity of AI toward a more just and equitable social world.
Join us for a critical discussion on the risks and opportunities AI presents for human flourishing, education, and Australian society.
Where: Greg Craven Centre, ACU Melbourne campus, Level 7, St Teresa of Kolkata Building, 115 Victoria Parade, Fitzroy VIC.
