First, best-selling author and viral ted-talk speaker Annie Murphy Paul will give you an exclusive look at her research into human cognition as a networked and profoundly embodied process. Then MacArthur and Guggenhiem grant-winning theater director, Annie Dorsen, gets honest about what it’s been like to work with her new collaborator—a Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3), a disembodied machine trained to generate realistic human text.
