Will the use of AI to complete daily tasks, particularly school work, impact cognitive abilities and creativity?

Recent work out of a MIT Media Lab suggests that people who used ChatGPT have lower brain engagement than those who did not when writing their essays. While the MIT Media Lab work has driven headlines recently, others have been quick to remind us that the fear of technology is nothing new.

We want to know: Is AI an addition to the technological toolbox, or should we be having bigger conversations about the impact of AI technology?

Is AI rewiring our minds?

• AI is making us lazy
• Ai is great, BUT only if used as a tool and not a substitute for thinking
• AI is great! People have a history of fearing new technology
• Too early to tell

Who are the people in the photos that introduce the NZSG’s Getting It Right videos?

Genealogy without Borders with Chris Paton, Scotland's Greatest Story. Irish born Chris Paton As family historians, we can be tempted to try to tell the stories of our ancestors solely from the resources in the areas where they once lived, but in this talk, genealogist Chris Paton examines why the consideration of the extended family around the world can be particularly fruitful for your family history research also. As part of a wider worldwide diaspora, Chris will show how emigrant family members provided him with clues to their stories overseas, often with records that plugged the missing gaps in research for family members back home, and giving him a much broader understanding of his family at both home and abroad.

• Saturday 9 August 2025: $5 door charge
• Sunday 10 August 2025: $5 door charge.
Those booking both Friday events get free entry to the Expo on Saturday and Sunday on presentation of their tickets.
