Artificial intelligence is advancing at an ever-increasing rate, prompting questions about how these developments will impact all aspects of our society, learning, and the arts.

What better way to tease out these questions than a conversation between an author and a robot. Join novelist Jeanette Winterson as she speaks with Ameca, the most advanced humanoid robot. Their conversation will be followed by a panel event exploring these themes further. This is the opening event of our Learning Curves season, held in partnership with the National Robotarium.
