Description: AI seems to be everywhere these days, but how should we think about it? Should we embrace it or fear it? In this talk, we’ll look closely at several interactive AI simulators, particularly on social media, and explore what AI can show us about how language works in the first place, where meaning comes from, and ultimately about why we interact with other people.
