Scholarship and the zeitgeist of AI-modernity

First event: Professor Ella McPherson, University of Cambridge.

The zeitgeist of AI-modernity paints familiar techno-utopias. These techno-utopias have antiheros, namely laggards and luddites. In this talk, Ella will unpack these discourses with respect to generative AI and the academy, showing how resistance is not ‘backwardness’ but rather protects the norms of our sector. She'll conclude with a call to AI-luddism.
