Event: Screening of the documentary "End of Humanity" and Panel Discussion
Date: Wednesday 4 December 2024
Time: 19:30-21:00
Venue: Spazju Kreattiv Cinema, St. James Cavalier, Valletta
The stories we tell about ourselves as humans and the power of technology impact how we design and invest in our future and how we engage AI. Increasingly, the story is that humans are inefficient and replaceable compared to AI. A gloomy view of humankind has become mainstream, catering to a future without trust – a future with weak democracies.
The documentary: The End of Humanity, by Andreas DĂĽrr and Jan-Marc Furer explores this narrative and probes alternative views. It encourages creative and critical thinking about a future worth wanting and the tools that allow us to build it. We need a global and concerted effort to invent a humane future for all.
3CL Foundation, in collaboration with Spazju Kreattiv, is screening the documentary The End of Humanity. Following the screening, an intergenerational panel discussion between academics and young people will be moderated by Prof. Alex Grech. The screening will be held on Wednesday 4 December at 19:30 at Spazju Kreattiv. Entry is free but booking is required.
