Monday 14th September | The Conduit, Covent Garden Doors 6pm · Discussion 6.30 - 7.30pm
Where do you draw the line? That's the question at the centre of our next Media Society discussion – one of the key debates in creative work right now. Journalists, newsletter writers, authors and comms teams are each finding their own answer about when and how to use AI, and there's not much agreement yet.
Our panel will dig into that question: should AI write, or help write, articles, newsletters, press releases or book chapters – and if so, where's the boundary?
Join us at The Conduit for the discussion, with a pay bar open before and after for networking.
On the Panel:
Babita Sharma (Chair) has spent more than 20 years as a presenter and broadcaster with the BBC, and has hosted the World AI Summit for the past five years. She's the author of The Corner Shop and The Adventures of Priya Mistry, with a new book on India's partition out in July 2027.
Keiran Goddard is a novelist, poet, screenwriter and social theorist. His debut novel Hourglass was listed for the Desmond Elliott Prize, and his second, I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning, has been adapted into a feature film. His third, Fill the World, is out later this year.
