When machines listen, who’s influencing whom? A practical guide to talking to AI without being misled, manipulated or overwhelmed.

Who’s really in control when you talk to a machine? 

Hundreds of millions of people talk to AI like ChatGPT every day. Some use it to turbo-charge their productivity at work, ask advice, seek therapy and find love whilst others are falling into dangerous conspiracies, delusions and psychosis. Almost overnight, chatbots are transforming society, politics and business. 

Knowing how to speak to AI - and how not to -is a skill that we all now need. Leading tech commentator and author Jamie Bartlett talks to Judith Robinson about how to make the most of these incredible new technologies, without succumbing to new powers of manipulation and control. 

This event will be followed by a book signing, supported by Mr B’s Emporium of Books.
