AI Under Debate: Chicago
About this event
An interactive evening of four live debates on AI, from training on copyrighted work to AI infrastructure costs and AI doom, with live audience voting, AI fact-checking, food and networking.
The Perspectives Lab, with Starplot and networking partner Knod, runs four live debates: AI versus creators on copyright, the AI infrastructure boom and local costs, AI doomsday versus necessary progress, and human judgment versus AI for high-stakes decisions. The audience votes, scores debaters, submits questions and sees AI-powered fact-checking, and can join short mini-debates for leaderboard prizes.
Food is provided. The address in the Loop is shown only to registered guests. Registration is free with a waitlist, and the page showed few spots left.
