This event marks the opening of the Edinburgh Futures Institute’s Spring 2023 season and is by invitation only. After this event, bookings will officially open to everyone for our Spring 2023 programme of events, created in collaboration with partners across the Edinburgh Futures Institute, will run from March to May 2023!

Our title for this season is Love Machine and focuses on interdisciplinarity of artificial Intelligence, data and machine learning technologies. This theme aligns with the University of Edinburgh’s fourth Futures Conversation as well as celebrations of 60 years of AI at the University. Through it we will explore the interconnections of AI, data and machine learning with other disciplines, including the arts and humanities. And we will invite, provoke and convene open discussions and thinking from students, researchers, different disciplines, industry and business, and communities from across the University and beyond.
