Magic, Imagination and AI Event

"Panel discussion opened a door in my brain I didn’t even know existed."
"Thank you for a significant and inspiring discussion."
"Beautiful vibes!"

Thank you for those who joined us for our first event. It was SOLD OUT. And we had an electrifying evening exploring intersections between magic and AI, science and the imagination at Reference.Point London.

We explored the connection between magic and AI, science and imagination. We talked about how magic and illusion serve as metaphors in technology, and we touched on some of the fascinating histories of magicians and alchemists as innovators. We discussed how magic can inspire tech creation, and how it might sometimes hinder innovation.
