About this Event

Will artificial intelligence improve how we work and live, or will it alienate us? How is AI changing our lives, values, and fundamental ways of being? It’s no secret that AI is changing how we live, work, love, and entertain ourselves. Dating apps are using AI to pick our potential partners. Retailers are using AI to predict our behavior and desires. Rogue actors are using AI to persuade us with bots and misinformation. Companies are using AI to hire us—or not. In this fascinating webinar, bestselling author, psychologist, and data scientist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic takes us on a journey to the startling consequences AI has on our day-to-day behavior, including the battle for focus, the end of patience, the narrowing of minds, the normalization of narcissism, the modification of our actions, and the demise of curiosity. Amid the discussion, Chamorro-Premuzic shows how we can reclaim our humanity and avoid being alienated or dehumanized by technology.
