Our ever-popular The Great Debate event is back! Open to all, join us for a spirited, quick-fire battle.
Can AI unleash Auckland’s full potential, sparking ideas beyond human imagination? Or, is the future of our city best shaped by us who live, love and design it?
How can we learn from AI to get exceptional outputs? What is the mindset shift and AI’s limitations?
Will AI be a collaborator to ignite more possibilities or we won’t need building professionals because we have AI?
Featuring speakers: Nichole Stock - Editor Jon Rennie - Architect Lindley Naismith -Architect Robert Amor - Researcher and International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction member Stephanie Miller - Engineer Moderated by Wallace Chapman - Radio New Zealand host.
“One thing a person cannot do, no matter how rigorous this analysis or heroic his imagination, is draw up a list of things that would never occur to him” - Nobel Prize-winning economist Thomas Schelling
‘fun and a bit rowdy, a great laugh!’
Come along for an engaging evening and to join the Festival Party at Q Theatre’s Lounge with drinks and nibbles provided.
