On AI, Self and Culture by Anna Goldsworthy

Humanity in the age of AI

AI may be our most persuasive God yet. At the same time, it forces a confrontation with what it means to be human—bodies, fragility, memory. It raises questions about human connection, leisure and learning. And it brings new existential and ethical risks.

In this dazzling essay, Anna Goldsworthy explores the implications of AI for art, culture, and the self.
