David Berreby

David Berreby is a science writer who has written about AI for the past decade. In this conversation, we’ll look at various AI tools for creative tasks and discuss the practical, psychological and moral ramifications of using them. The talk was hands-on, rooted in examples from Berreby’s own experience as well as from real-time use in the room. The aim is to get a better understanding of how AI is affecting writers, students, scholars and other creators, and take an informed look at the kinds of decisions AI asks us to make. Participants emerged with a better sense of whether and how and when they can use AI – and when they shouldn’t.
