Frankenstein & AI – challenging concepts of what’s human and what’s machine
Saturday 21st September, 09:30 - 10:30
Featuring HMC alum Professor Fiona Sampson in conversation with Nigel Crook.
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein offers a series of enduring metaphors which explore such contemporary issues as the ethics of ‘blue sky’ research, the boundaries of the human, the social consequences of personal hubris. This session examines the uses of her immensely influential novel, first published in 1818, in considering the far reaching and transformative nature of AI.
