About this event
Artificial intelligence or human intelligence? Earth or Mars? Silicon Valley or Hutt Valley? With this rapid rise of big tech the future is arriving faster than ever. Will technology solve our biggest problems or destroy us? Two teams take to the stage to thrash it out in Don’t Worry, Tech will Save Us! A fast-paced, big-thinking debate where wild hypotheticals, and genuine insight collide. Expect sharp arguments, questionable statistics, and plenty of laughs. Adjudicated by comedian Jerome Chandrahasen and featuring Toby Manhire, James Nokise, Chlöe Swarbrick, pip adam, Samantha Hannah, and Lyric Waiwiri-Smith. Festival passes cannot be used for this event. Unity Books Wellington, Verb’s Official Festival Bookselling Partner will be on-site bookselling at this event.
