EXCLUSIVE WEBINAR | “Imitation Games, Then and Now: The Renaissance Roots of A.I.”
Presented by Quentin Hardy
with Additional Commentary by Dr. Rocky Ruggiero

Artificial Intelligence is powerful, futuristic, and a little scary. But away from the hype, it’s quite familiar, and closely tied to some of the most powerful themes and aspirations of the Renaissance: Imitation, perfection, classical learning and a new exploration of the world. You will learn about A.I. in ways you can (finally!) understand, and see how the works of artists like Giotto, Brunelleschi, Da Vinci and Michelangelo contributed to our contemporary dream of creating computers that think.

The webinar will include a 45-minute lecture followed by 15-minutes of Q&A.

Please note:

• Your participation is confirmed once you have purchased your ticket. You will receive the Zoom link to join the presentation circa 30 minutes before the start time.
• VIDEO RECORDING of the webinar will be available for unlimited streaming at your convenience for 7 days after the event.
