Gloucestershire Group: AI – Progress, or Pandora’s Box?

Join our ever-growing, dynamic Gloucestershire Group on Thursday, 26 February from 2pm.

A.I: Progress or Pandora’s Box?

This month, we are delighted to welcome Dr Duncan Dicks both to our group and to leading this conversation on Artificial Intelligence. Duncan is a Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing at the University of Gloucestershire. He has recently been researching and teaching the uses and ethics of A.I. in creative writing.

He will be leading a workshop in the first part of the afternoon, so bring your computer, phone or device if you want to participate in some A.I. exercises! Then, for the second part of the afternoon, we will be discussing the possible benefits, pitfalls and ethics of this particular Pandora’s Box!

Look forward to seeing you there!

We will meet in the ground-floor meeting room within the Monastery Café, Prinknash Abbey, Cranham, GL4 8EX.

The venue has great accessibility: there is a large, free car park, above the café building. Walk down steps or a gentle slope to access the café entrance. The meeting room is immediately to your left on entering, with toilets opposite. The café to the right serves a great selection of non-alcoholic refreshments, delicious cake etc.

If you have accessibility issues, keep driving: there are two disabled spaces just to the left of the doorway. While the café is generously offering us the meeting room free of charge, please bring a plastic card or cash to pay for your own refreshments.

All members welcome!
