This month we're taking the hot topic that is artificial intelligence and asking what you think.
AI is everywhere - in our emails, our workplaces, social media, music, even medicine. It can do incredible things very quickly. But as even AI experts have been sounding the alarm should we be concerned? Are the robots really coming for your job? Will they wipe out all human life in the next ten years? What exactly is a data centre and why is it using so much water? We'll cover the 101 of what AI is, what it can be used for and asking why even the companies themselves are calling for more regulation and what you think the role of AI should be in our society.
Not your typical politics event - Pints & Politics evenings are designed to be an informal space to learn about the big issues in our society, how decisions that affect us get made and to share your thoughts on how they impact you and what we can do about them locally. So if you know you should know about AI, but aren't sure where to even start this is the event for you.
Non partisan and focussed on community - We’re not affiliated to a political party and are community based. The aim isn’t to score points or convince others of your opinion - it’s not a debate club. It’s a place for us to learn together. It's for everyone who is curious about the world around them and wants to build community and take action for a better world where all of us can thrive.
On the night - Join us at The Grove in Sneinton Market on 20th October. Doors open at 7pm and we aim to start by 7.15pm. The evening will include some fun themed activities to warm us up, structured input on the issue and group discussions to understand your key questions and opinions. As well as a chance to meet new people over snacks and generally just have a good time!
To get your free ticket simply sign up here. We're a grassroots group with no funding to subsidise these events and rely on community support. We will always make sure there are free tickets and money isn't a barrier to attend, to make this possible optional donations to help us cover costs will be taken on the door. Drinks will be available to purchase at the bar, and we will have snacks available, again with optional donations. Please bring cash for donations if you are able.
Please share far and wide - we’d love to have you with us 😊
*Oh and we went with pints & politics because it sounds good - alliteration and all that - Other drinks (including non alcoholic drinks) obviously available, and responsible drinking very much encouraged.
