"Demystifying AI": Excited to share an upcoming workshop on one of the most debated technologies today: Generative AI.
This is an interactive workshop led by Taylor Rockhill (@SOASDevelopment), exploring the promises, limits, and wider social impacts of AI.
What is AI really? What can it do and what can’t it do? Why is generative AI so controversial compared to earlier tech shifts like the internet or smartphones?
🗓 Mon 1 June | ⏰ 3–5pm
📍 @SOAS Senate House, S211
➡️Registration:shorturl.at/GnTiY
A timely discussion for anyone interested in AI and its social, political, and economic implications.

Global economic systems are driving deep inequality in access to medicines & health.
Yet even amid geopolitical rupture, there is a chance to change unfair global rules.
I’ll explore how at the @SOAS_DLD Annual Lecture 2026.
