However\, people’s expectations and sense of fear or hope around the potential changes to come vary significantly across the world. \nOn a more local scale\, public views on AI appear highly influenced by the culture they have grown up with and the stories that have been told about ‘intelligent machines’ in film\, TV\, books and art. \nAt the Great Exhibition Road Festival we will trace the history of ‘intelligent machines’ in art and literature\, and explore how different cultural landscapes across the world influence how people envisage an AI future today. From utopian or dystopian\, come find out how your expectations about AI’s impact fit within a global context. \nVisitor Information \nTalks and discussions are intended for an adult audience and are most suitable for ages 14+. \nThis event is part of the Art of Science talk series. The talk will have some advance tickets released to visitors closer to the Festival weekend as well as having drop in spaces on the day. \nIf you have an advance ticket\, please arrive at the venue 10 minutes before the start time. Your ticket gives you priority access\, however\, as this is a free event we overbook to help ensure a full event and your space may be reallocated. Early arrival reduces this risk. \nThis event has step-free access. \nTo attend the Festival\, please make sure to register for free. Registering is the only way to receive the latest Festival updates\, a first look at the programme\, and opportunities to book free tickets for popular events. \n\n[/vc_column_text][gsf_space desktop=”45″ tablet=”70″ tablet_portrait=”60″ mobile_landscape=”50″ mobile=”40″][vc_column_text responsive=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”] \nAbout the Authors:\n[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner responsive=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][vc_single_image image=”9580″ img_size=”full” onclick=”custom_link” link=”https://laurenbeukes.com/books/bridge/”][gsf_space desktop=”0″ tablet=”70″ tablet_portrait=”60″ mobile_landscape=”50″ mobile=”40″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5/6″][vc_column_text]Lauren Beukes is the award-winning author of six novels\, a collection of short stories\, a pop history about South African women\, and New York Times best-selling comics.

SUMMARY:Family Lives: Bridge and The Garnett Girls
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row content_width=”full”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Via Oxford Literary Festival: \nBestselling novelists Lauren Beukes and Georgina Moore discuss family relationships\, particularly between mothers and daughters\, and their portrayal in their family dramas Bridge and The Garnett Girls. \nBeukes is author of The Shining Girls\, which has been adapted by Apple TV\, and Zoo City\, winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award. Her latest novel is Bridge\, the story of Bridge\, whose maverick scientist mother Jo is dead. She examines everything Jo left behind and finds a big secret\, but is it a drug or a gateway to another world? \nThe Garnett Girls is Moore’s first novel\, and she was chosen as one of the Observer’s ten best new novelists of 2023. The novel is a story of love\, sisterhood and what it means to be home. Margo’s silence over a relationship from the past is keeping her three daughters from finding true happiness. The novel asks whether children can ever be free of the mistakes of their parents.[/vc_column_text][gsf_space desktop=”45″ tablet=”35″ tablet_portrait=”30″ mobile_landscape=”25″ mobile=”20″][gsf_button title=”Full Event Info” style=”link” color=”red” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Foxfordliteraryfestival.org%2Fliterature-events%2F2024%2Fmarch-20%2Ffamily-lives-bridge-and-the-garnett-girls|title:Full%20Event%20Info|target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
