A Conversation With Samuel Moyn
12.00–1.30pm | Friday, February 13
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?
Samuel Moyn is the Kent Professor of Law and History at Yale University.
This event is open to all members of the Yale community. Lunch will be served.

Superficial observers have long criticized the United States for making a fetish of youth. This is unfair. Uniquely among modern organs of public and private administration, its national legislature rewards senility.
