Discussion Evenings

Explore with others different aspects, questions and issues about AI and its role in our lives.

2 hours
FREE

Who is this for: Anyone at any level or experience.

An open invitation to listen, share, and discuss your thoughts and concerns about AI in a structured, welcoming environment.

These evenings are about conversation. No teaching, no lectures – no expert panels or presentations. Just a chance to talk, listen and reflect together.

To provide a starting place and some structure to the evening we may have

  • A brief introduction to the subject
  • One or two people sharing some opinions, thoughts, extracts to provide a starting point and some context
  • We may split the group into smaller groups so more people can share and be heard

“It’s so important to have these spaces to dialogue and to identify our collective and individual responses to being the change”

“rich, life affirming and activators of growth in community”

“I find I can best ‘get to grips’ with a subject when I’m in a group discussing it and hearing other people’s views. “Yes, I agree with that” or “no I don’t agree” and “I’ve never thought about that”.

Dates and topics coming …

Furture dates to be confirmed 🕖 7 pm – 9 pm GMT

How AI affects us – individuals, culture and society. Can it help us communicate better, or does it create distance in our relationships? How can using AI diminish or better ourselves?

AI, Misinformation, and Trust: How do we know what to believe? When should we trust AI recommendations, and when should we rely on human judgment? AI biases, AI hallucinations, AI sycophancy and more.

AI and Our Children – What boundaries should we set around AI use in education and childhood development?

AI and Environmental Justice – Can AI help solve climate challenges, or does its energy cost make things worse?

Bias and Fairness – How do we ensure AI systems reflect our values rather than perpetuating existing inequalities?

Using AI responsibly – for ourselves and for the planet: How do we use it without losing ourselves? [perhaps include previous topic]

AI as Emotional Support – Should we turn to AI for counselling, coaching, or mental health support, and what are we risking if we do?

AI and ownership in the creative fields: Music, Films, Art, Theatre, Performances. Considering copyright, theft, privacy. What do we stand to lose and gain? How it might impact people trying to earn a living from it.

Employment and Skills – How do we prepare ourselves and our communities for an AI-transformed workplace?

Consultancy & Coaching

Personalised consultancy and coaching for individuals, small teams or organisations.

Work alongside an AI expert to find the ideas, solutions and results that match your needs. Find out how and where AI can have significant impacts.

This work is for people dealing with complexity, uncertainty or unfamiliar ground, who want support that respects their experience, rather than talking over it with tools, jargon or quick answers.

We work alongside you on real questions and real situations, using AI as a thinking partner, not a substitute for human judgement.

Our Unique Approach

We combine:

  • Your experience and expertise in your area, project, life or passion
  • Our experience and expertise in AI and working with people and systems
  • AI’s ability to be any sort of expert we ask it to be and provide ideas, clarity, suggestions

Team Training

Work with us to design your own AI training sessions for your team.
