Our online talk ‘What are we afraid of? Longing, anxiety and hope in the age of AI’, involving an AI specialist, a priest and a film maker, raised a multitude of fascinating, terrifying, liberating topics.

Using Tor Lindstrand’s images of a possible future Råängen we spoke about opportunities to consider a future we don’t know; the importance of visualising spaces that involve dirt, disfunction and diversity as well as dynamics that are part of life; we considered the risks involved in thinking that we can handle and control reality; and we made a plea for more gaps, darkness and open space for reflection, resonance and creativity.

Speakers:
Mia Engberg, film director and screenwriter
Lena Sjöstrand, Chaplain, Lund Cathedral
Tor Lindstrand, architect, lecturer and AI specialist
Chair: Jes Fernie, Curator, Råängen
