From creative studios to classrooms and boardrooms, generative AI is reshaping the way we work, learn, and imagine. This first Causerie of AI-Phi 3.0 invites an open discussion on the hopes and anxieties surrounding this technology: from the promise of universal creativity and efficiency to the spectre of runaway intelligence. Together with Edmund Ronald, we’ll reflect on how trust, safety, and understanding evolve as AI spreads through everyday life.

From blogs to sketches to new channels: celebrating the many ways AI-Phi members turn philosophical curiosity into creative expression.
