You already know something is shifting. At work, in your field, knowledge itself seems to be changing hands. Artificial intelligence is rewriting everything. The people who are supposed to know what comes next don't.
Scientists are no different. Right now, astronomers and cosmologists are wrestling with questions that keep them up at night. Can AI actually discover something new...or is it just finding patterns we put there? Will the scientists of tomorrow look anything like the scientists of today? What does it mean to do science when the machine is doing more of the work? The universe, after all, is still out there: indifferent, vast, and stranger than anything we've built to study it.
They have thoughts. They have arguments. They don't have answers.
Cosmologist and science communicator Paul Sutter brings guests to the stage for an unscripted conversation at the edge of what anyone knows. No polished talking points. No consensus. Just scientists who are genuinely uncertain, thinking out loud, and making room for your questions too.
If you've been sitting with this stuff, wondering what it means, not sure who to ask — this is your evening.
