About Lunch Orders
While you’re nourishing your body, let us feed your mind. In Term 3, Lunch Orders is dishing up the dirt on AI. How does it work? Why are we afraid of it? What does the future of art, work and life look like with AI in it?
Each serving will open with a ten-minute soapbox from an expert. They will then be joined by host Bec Kavanagh for a Q&A that enriches and expands on their ideas.
Lunch Orders will have you back into the schoolyard with time to spare and with few extra facts to pack in your lunchbox too. Follow the links below to access the event pages and view the videos of each conversation once they are available.
