Create With HQ AI + NoCode Meetup

Beyond the Algorithm: Understanding AI's Power to Shape Our Culture & Future — a Brighton talk exploring how AI reshapes work, media, and society with academic and industry experts. ADVANCE TICKETS are available at EVENTBRITE. AI systems now write code, generate images, produce news content, and increasingly make decisions that affect everyday life—from what we see online to how businesses operate and resources are allocated. What once felt experimental is now embedded in the tools, platforms, and institutions many of us rely on, often in ways that are invisible but deeply influential. This event brings together Ron Chrisley (University of Sussex), Mark Kennedy (Imperial College London), and Oli Sharpe (GoMeta) to examine how AI is shaping our economy, culture, and future. In a timely and crucial discussion, they will explore what’s changing now, what remains uncertain, and which questions matter most as AI becomes increasingly embedded in everyday life. Venue and timing: upstairs in The Nightingale Room at The Grand Central Pub, Brighton. Doors open at 19:00; Talk starts at 19:30; Audience Q&A at 20:30. Please note there is no wheelchair access at this venue. This session is designed to bridge academic insight with practical, real-world perspectives. It’s suitable for researchers, students, engineers, policy watchers, creatives, and anyone curious about how AI affects culture, work, and governance. The discussion aims to cut through hype and offer grounded analysis of what AI can and cannot do, and what questions matter as it becomes a more integral part of everyday life. If you’re building AI tools, studying their social impact, or simply trying to understand what AI means for your work, this is a thoughtful, accessible event with plenty of opportunity to engage with the speakers during the Q&A.
