What to expect

Eleanor Drage, a Cambridge AI ethicist, on her book arguing that the real risks are not future doomsday scenarios but the incentives, monopolies and hidden biases shaping AI systems now. A bookshop event: forty-five minutes of conversation, then audience questions and signing.

At Blackwell's in Manchester, £5 to £16 depending on whether the ticket includes the book. Doors 6:30. A useful counterweight if your reading on AI risk has been dominated by the existential-risk framing — Drage's case is that the more actionable questions are political and structural.
