AI is full of scary stories. Fact or folklore?

Jobs disappearing. Skills becoming obsolete. AI agents replacing whole teams. Software as we know it losing its head.

Everyone seems to have a scary story about AI. Some are probably hype and some probably aren’t. For Halloween, Tech Thursday is going HEADLESS to find out which is which 🎃

What’s it about?

HEADLESS is an evening of short, sharp scary stories about where technology is heading. Each speaker takes on several of the changes that sound most frightening and asks what happens if they really come true. Then we decide together: fact or folklore?

Some of the stories will have a silver lining. Not every scary story ends badly.

Who you’ll hear from

Michael Bambrick, Wallace Corporate Counsel LLP

Michael helps entrepreneurs and investors who are funding, scaling and selling businesses, from venture capital and angel investors to private equity. He’s got a few scary stories of his own to test.

Other speakers to be confirmed.

Who is it for?

Anyone working in business, design, marketing, finance, professional services, retail, manufacturing, small business or the public sector.

You don’t need to work in tech or know anything about AI. If you’re curious about what’s coming for your own line of work, that’s plenty.

What to expect

Short talks, good conversation and a few uncomfortable questions worth asking. Come along and decide for yourself: fact or folklore?
