What the Machine Won’t Tell You
AI can write a sentence. It can’t tell you why the sentence matters, or what you lost in letting it decide.
Join writer, editor, broadcaster and Walkley award-winning journalist Jeff Sparrow in conversation with Preeshita Shah, journalist and Asia-Pacific Regional Representative for the PEN International’s Young Writers Committee, for an hour on what AI is changing about writing and about us. Humans have always extended their capabilities and redefined themselves in the process. This conversation asks what we still want to claim as ours and who holds the power while we work it out.
