Night of Ideas, Villa Albertine’s flagship nocturnal marathon of philosophical debates, performances, readings, and more is returning to more than 20 cities in the US, from February 25 through March 3, 2024.
This multidisciplinary event was introduced in the United States in 2015 by the French Embassy. Today, Night of Ideas is a nationwide phenomenon, drawing tens of thousands of people to events across the country. It has been presented in over 100 countries worldwide and coordinated by the Institut Français. The event invites thought leaders, activists, performers, authors, and academics to engage the public in discussions around a central question that addresses major, contemporary global issues.
“Disruptive Innovation: AI, Language, Arts, and Education” celebrates art, storytelling, and translation, as well as the new possibilities and challenges arising from the integration of artificial intelligence in these domains.
Visionaries, artists, thought leaders, and experts will interact with the public to unravel the complexities of human expression, highlighting the transformative impact of multimedia, transdisciplinarity, and cutting-edge technologies on our intellectual landscape. This exploration will shed light, in particular, on the evolving dynamic between human ingenuity and the disruptive force of AI, sparking contemplation on the delicate balance between creation and automation in our interconnected world.
With a constructive focus, this event catalyzes fostering collaboration, inspiring new ideas, and envisioning a future where AI seamlessly integrates with language, arts, and education, unlocking unprecedented possibilities, while at the same time reinforcing the crucial role of human agency in articulating clear principles for ethical user conduct at the global level.
Join Alliance Francaise de Seattle for this transformative journey where innovation converges with human ingenuity!
