In ancient Greek mythology, Prometheus stole the gods’ fire to give to humans – sparking sudden and dramatic advances in technology and the arts, and dramatic new sources of conflict. His story is told in the 2,500-year-old Prometheia trilogy attributed to Aeschylus, of which only Prometheus Bound remains in full. In this lecture performance, presented as part of the Neubauer Collegium Director’s Lecture series, Annie Dorsen engages the audience in reflections on power, knowledge, and doubt. Although the explosion of artificial intelligence technology into our daily lives feels unprecedented and new, Dorsen asks if we have been here before. How do we decide to act when we can’t trust our sources? And who do we become in the face of a technology controlled by a select few, especially when its workings remain a mystery?
