Polymathy in an Age of AI
A Conversation With Paul Grimstad

12.00–1.30pm | Friday, April 10
Elm Library, 31 Whitney Avenue

What is wrong with completely outsourcing your heartfelt missives (e.g., love letters, anniversary cards, proposals, wedding toasts, eulogies, etc.) to generative AI? Doing so seems to violate a norm that we should craft expressions of appreciation in intimate relationships ourselves rather than outsourcing them to others—or, as is now possible, machines. What is the basis of this norm and can it survive in an age of ubiquitous AI?

Paul Grimstad is a lecturer in Ethics, Politics, and Economics at Yale University.

This event is open to all members of the Yale community. Lunch will be served.
