We’ll ask: What are AI agents, and what are the biggest opportunities and challenges they create for professional life? What are social care-giving robots, and can we humans have authentic friendships or romantic partnerships with them? From preserving Guarani and Quechua to enabling communication with animals, what prospects and dilemmas does AI create for human language and communication—with one another, and with other species?
This will be followed by a networking cocktail.
