Discuss Cory Doctorow’s critique of AI, labour and power at Beeston Library in Nottingham on 28 November 2026. Hosted by Venanzio for the Nottingham Humanist Book Club, this 90-minute meeting explores The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI by journalist and bestselling author Cory Doctorow. Rather than asking only what artificial intelligence can do, the book challenges readers to consider a more revealing question: who is the technology working for, and who is being made to work for it? AI through the lens of labour The discussion will unpack Doctorow’s distinction between a “centaur” and a “reverse centaur”. In automation theory, a centaur is someone who chooses to use technology to support work that matters to them. A reverse centaur, by contrast, is forced to assist a machine and keep pace with its demands. Examples raised by the book include: - Drivers pushed to make deliveries continuously - Warehouse workers denied reasonable food or bathroom breaks - Programmers expected to produce impossible quantities of code - People whose working conditions are dictated by automated systems This framing creates space for a wider conversation about AI hype, automation, worker agency and the distribution of technological power. Whether you want to criticise AI, use it or reject it, the meeting will focus on looking beyond abstract claims about capability to examine its effects on real lives and society. A welcoming humanist book discussion The event takes place from 2:00pm to 3:30pm GMT on Saturday 28 November 2026, in Room Bee 3 at Beeston Library, Foster Avenue, Beeston, NG9 1AE. You do not need to have read the book. The session is designed as an accessible book-club conversation for anyone interested in AI and society, AI ethics, humanism or the changing nature of work. Readers can bring their interpretation of Doctorow’s argument, while newcomers can participate through their interest in the subject and in humanist values. View the event and registration details

The Hackathon at The AI Summit New York is a high-energy, data-driven challenge taking place December 9-10, 2026, at the iconic Javits Center. This fringe event brings together university students and early-career professionals for an intensive on-site competition focused on building breakthrough AI solutions in two cutting-edge categories: Agentic AI and Computer Vision. What You'll Build Participants will tackle real-world challenges across two specialized tracks. In the Best App for Agentic AI category, you'll design autonomous applications that demonstrate advanced decision-making, workflow automation, and adaptive intelligence. The Best App for Computer Vision track challenges you to create visual intelligence solutions — from advanced image recognition to real-time video analytics — that transform how machines perceive the world. The competition emphasizes practical innovation evaluated on five key criteria: technical efficiency, business practicality, market scalability, and real-world impact. Judges include industry leaders like Andrea Hippeau (Partner at Lerer Hippeau), Chris Wiggins (Chief Data Scientist at The New York Times), and Logan Lawler (AI Solutions Lead at Dell Pro Max). Who Should Apply This hackathon welcomes current US university students (undergraduate, Masters, or PhD) and early-career professionals (1-3 years experience) in technology fields. Participants should bring proficiency in languages like Python or Java, understanding of machine learning frameworks, and data analysis skills. You must be 18 or older and available in-person at Javits Center for the full event. The Experience Selected participants receive access to pre-event masterclasses to sharpen their skillsets before the main competition. During the two-day hackathon, you'll work alongside peers, network with industry experts from organizations like easyJet, and showcase your solutions on a global stage. As past winner Tia Shah notes: "Even if you don't win there are so many opportunities and benefits to be gained — you'll gain access to network with top industry leaders and attend various parts of the summit." Beyond the competition itself, this hackathon serves as a direct pipeline to leading tech organizations actively seeking diverse talent who won't typically apply through traditional job advertisements.

The AI Agent Conference in Fort Lauderdale (February 9-11, 2027) brings together legal experts, technologists, and business leaders to tackle one of the most pressing questions in AI development: As AI agents evolve from passive tools into autonomous decision-makers, who is legally responsible when things go wrong? This three-day event delivers critical insights into the regulatory, liability, and privacy challenges reshaping how enterprises deploy agentic AI systems. Why Attend As states across the U.S. draft new AI regulations and privacy laws, businesses adopting AI agents face unprecedented legal uncertainty. If an autonomous agent causes harm—whether through biased decisions, data breaches, or operational failures—existing legal frameworks struggle to assign accountability. This conference addresses these challenges head-on, equipping attendees with the knowledge to navigate the complex intersection of AI innovation and regulatory compliance. Featured Sessions The conference kicks off Tuesday, February 10 with the opening panel "AI Agents on Trial: Navigating Regulation, Liability, and Privacy in the Age of Agentic AI" (10:00-10:45am). Legal experts and technology leaders will explore critical questions: Should developers, enterprise adopters, or the AI systems themselves bear responsibility for autonomous agent actions? How do emerging state-level regulations impact AI deployment strategies? What privacy protections must be built into agentic systems from the ground up? Beyond the main sessions, the conference offers unique professional development opportunities. The Coaching Café workshop provides personalized guidance on AI strategy and implementation. The exhibit hall (open Wednesday 12pm-5pm and Thursday 10am-3pm) showcases cutting-edge AI agent platforms and tools. Who Should Attend This event is essential for legal counsel advising on AI deployments, compliance officers managing regulatory risk, CTOs and AI architects building autonomous systems, product managers integrating AI agents, and business leaders making strategic AI investment decisions. Whether you're implementing ChatGPT-powered customer service agents, deploying Claude for document processing, or building custom automation with n8n or Make, understanding the legal landscape is non-negotiable. Event Format The conference runs Tuesday through Thursda
