Universities and the Future of Truth: AI, Free Speech, and Power
At a time when artificial intelligence is reshaping how information is produced, distributed, and consumed, questions of truth, trust, and authority have become increasingly urgent. What happens when AI systems mediate public debate, generate knowledge, and influence what we see, believe, and share?

What to expect
The evening panel in the Edinburgh Futures Institute's day on AI and universities, on what happens to public debate when AI systems mediate what people see and believe — and what role universities have in defending open inquiry against that.
Ninety minutes, free, at EFI on Lauriston Place. The most outward-facing of the three panels: less about how universities run and more about information, democracy and institutional trust. No technical background assumed.
