AI is central to the future of knowledge.

When we think about it at ASU, we're always thinking about how to guide its impact in transformative, positive and ethical ways.

The humanities have an important role to play in centering the human spirit's place in this key space of tech innovation.

This Humanities Week event makes the connection by drawing on the thought-provoking film Her to catalyze the conversation.

Together we'll watch, think and talk about the vision for the future director Spike Jonze envisioned more than ten years before the launch of Chat GPT. With the movie as inspiration, audience members will arrive at their own unique understandings of how the film's ideas illuminate potential pathways for further questions that future study in the diverse disciplines the humanities offer can answer. Whether you're passionate about science and technology, history, literature, philosophy, or just curious(!), don't miss this special opportunity to explore the ways ASU Humanities can change the ways you view a film, and empower you to give new voice to the direction emerging technologies should take in the ways we relate to one another, and the world.

This event is presented in partnership by the Humanities Institute and Center for Science and the Imagination collaboration.

  • 7:00 p.m. Film Introduction by Bob Beard, Senior Program Manager, Center for Science and the Imagination
  • 7:20 p.m. Her screening

Light refreshments will be provided.
