About
When convenience blends with dependency, what if AI didn’t defeat humanity—what if we simply handed it the keys?
Join us during Boston AI Week for Film & Philosophy: What If AI Won?—an interactive social experience exploring AI, human agency, business, ethics, and governance through film-inspired questions.
This isn’t a lecture, panel, or traditional networking event.
You’ll join rotating pods of people for guided conversations designed to help you skip the small talk and get into the questions that actually matter:
- When does convenience become dependence?
- What decisions should humans never outsource?
- If irresponsible AI gives a company an advantage, who chooses to slow down?
- When AI causes harm, who should be accountable?
No AI expertise required! Come as a founder, builder, consultant, creative, policymaker, student, skeptic, enthusiast—or simply someone curious about where all of this is going.
What to expect:
- Short film-inspired discussion prompts
- Facilitated conversations in small, rotating groups
- A mix of personal, business, and societal questions
- Time to order food and drinks from Democracy Brewing at our event's private bar
- Optional social time after the guided experience
Coming alone? Most people will—and your first group will be waiting for you. You won’t have to work the room, introduce yourself to everyone, or figure out where to sit!
Doors open: 6:00 PM
Guided experience: 6:30–8:45 PM
Stay and socialize: Until 9:30 PM
Please arrive by 6:20 PM so we can place everyone into their first conversation pod.
Food and drinks are available for purchase directly from Democracy Brewing.
For guests 21+. Space is limited to keep the conversations intimate.
