Iain McGilchrist: Can AI rival the human soul?

Dr Iain McGilchrist has dedicated decades of neuroscience research to unravelling the inner workings of the human mind. But now, a new form of ‘consciousness’ has come to compete with the very idea of being a person. Could artificial intelligence overtake its creators? Join the psychiatrist, philosopher and author of the bestselling book The Master and His Emissary, for a live on-stage conversation with UnHerd’s Freddie Sayers. This event will take place at Conway Hall and will start at 7.30pm.

Clarissa Ward: New world, new media

As CNN’s chief international correspondent, Clarissa Ward has reported from the front lines of every major conflict in recent memory. But today, the battlefield isn’t the only thing shifting – the media landscape is undergoing its own seismic evolution. In an era dominated by mega-mergers, tech monopolies, and online-first platforms, how does truth-telling survive? With UnHerd’s Freddie Sayers, Ward explores whether boots-on-the-ground journalism can maintain its independence as corporate consolidation rewrites how news is funded, produced, and controlled.
