To be honest you'd be much better off seeing the December one. The presentation is very visual, with the examples mostly shown through images, audio, video and live demonstrations.
Were you able to make the talk? I sent a transcript to those that attended. There's another one in December.
I've been leading on the impact of AI on the creative industries for the London Mayor. Doing two online sessions that're free for the industry. Check them out...!

What a fantastic Council meeting in the wonderful setting of @bletchleypark - brilliant presentations from @IainStanden, Richard Orr of @NHM_London, @LindenWB of @LDN_Culture and @TheChiefCheese and our own @bernarddonoghue - thought-provoking, inspiring, lots of data & insights.
@haynes_dave Hi Dave. I'm currently working for the Greater London Authority, doing a piece of research on artificial intelligence and the Metaverse in the creative sector. I wondered if we could have a conversation about it? Given your work in the space.
Because even if all of your (brilliant) recommendations were put in place, it'd still leave a generation or two in the place they are now. Are there any thoughts on that? Is it just widespread CBT, or is it too late? @glukianoff
@JonHaidt I'm a huge fan of your work. But surely your After Babel journey has a gap. The prevention angle is right ie free range kids, social media policies etc. But what about the generations that have already grown up? What can be done? That needs treatment, not prevention.
