AI on Trial

Join us for AI on Trial, a high-energy, mock trial event where artificial intelligence is put in the hot seat. This courtroom-style debate will feature AI champions as the Defense, arguing for progress, productivity, and human empowerment, while AI skeptics and doomsayers form the Prosecution, warning of bias, disruption, and unchecked power.

🔎 The Case
The charges? You’ll find out soon. But rest assured, they’ll cover the most pressing ethical, societal, and economic questions facing AI today.

🎤 The Format
This interactive evening will include opening statements, key witnesses (yes, even AI-generated ones), rebuttals, and closing arguments. The twist? YOU, the audience, will serve as the jury, deciding the final verdict.

🍷 Stick around after the trial for networking, drinks, and spirited conversation. Whether you’re a technophile or a tech skeptic, AI on Trial is your chance to engage with the future in the most entertaining courtroom you’ve ever seen.
