Discuss: Are we living through the wholesale collapse of the knowledge system?

Date: November 11, 2025
Time: 14:15 – 15:00
Location: Wonk Corner

As it turns out the big worry is less about whether generative AI is coming for knowledge workers’ jobs and more what kind of currency the idea of knowledge, truth and fact can have in an AI-saturated world.

Discussion sessions will take the form of a brief initial provocation followed by open debate and sharing of views from those attending.
