THE MERRITT DIALOGUES – AI: CAN WE CONTROL WHAT WE CREATE? (Bay Area Book Festival)

The Merritt Dialogues bring visionary thinkers together to explore technology, sport, art, the future of human possibility, and more.

The Merritt Dialogues presents AI: Can We Control What We Create?, a provocative conversation on the future of artificial intelligence with Roman Yampolskiy and Rumman Chowdhury, moderated in person by Jeff Chang, author of Water Mirror Echo.

Join us at The New Parkway in Uptown Oakland for an evening that bridges technology, ethics, and art. Our distinguished thinkers will explore what it means to create intelligence we may not fully understand or be able to contain. This is a watch party format with both speakers presented virtually on the big screen and the moderator in person. Only the in-person audience will experience a live performance by a local Oakland artist and a community post-discussion. Drinks and food are available from the theater and books will be for sale after the event.
