# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Can Artificial Intelligence Become Conscious?
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 18 Feb, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Wed, 18 Feb, 2026 at 09:15 pm
- **Event Description**: The development of AI is arguably the most significant technological breakthrough of the 21st century. While some predict it will lead to huge economic and cultural advances, others warn of mass unemployment or even human extinction! But beyond the hype, perhaps the most intriguing aspect is the possibility of AI developing self-consciousness. Is humanity creating what is, in effect, a new tech-based life-form?
Everyone is welcome to take part in this discussion exploring AI, sentient machines and what we mean by consciousness in the first place.
We will meet from 7.30pm in the Marten Room upstairs in the Quaker Meeting House, Wellington Street NN1 3AS. There is a suggested donation of £5. Free parking available in the driveway of the Meeting House or along the top of Wellington Street.
