AI and the End of Human Primacy?

AI and the End of Human Primacy?

What happens when intelligence is no longer uniquely human?

Artificial intelligence is often discussed as a technology: what it will automate, what jobs it may replace, what new capabilities it will unlock.

But perhaps something much deeper is happening.

For the first time in human history, we are creating forms of intelligence that may eventually rival or surpass our own. If that happens, it will not only reshape work and technology. It may challenge some of our most basic assumptions about power, creativity, control, meaning and what it means to be human.

This interactive evening is an invitation to explore AI as a profound threshold in the human story.

Together, we will look at questions such as:

• What changes when human intelligence is no longer the highest form of intelligence we know?
• What might AI mean for work, creativity, power and human purpose?
• What parts of our current world could be fundamentally reshaped by it?
• And if AI challenges the story of human exceptionalism, what might it ask us to rediscover about ourselves?

This is not a night of techno-utopianism or AI doom. It is a space for sense-making, reflection and conversation around one of the most consequential developments of our time.
