As part of her work as a Senior Research Fellow at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence and co-Project Lead of the AI Narratives Project, Dr Sarah Dillon is taking part in CogX 2018, a major festival of AI and emerging technologies being held in London on Monday 11th and Tuesday 12th June. Sarah’s research project, AI Narratives, brings its research to a wide audience at the festival, through an introductory keynote, a panel discussion (chaired by Sarah) and a practical workshop to engage participants in developing innovative solutions to the dominance of primarily dystopian AI narratives.

Sarah will also present a main stage panel – ‘Can AI be Creative?’ – hosting key figures in the field, including Professor Maggie Boden OBE, Research Professor of Cognitive Science at the University of Sussex and author of The Creative Mind: Myths and Mechanisms (London: Routledge 2004 [2nd edn.]).
