Artificial intelligence programs such as ChatGPT are here to stay - the question now is, how will they shape the future? 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?

Nelson Repertory Theatre presents "My Fair Lady"
When: 17 - 26 July 2025
Where: Theatre Royal Nelson

Tickets: Book at Theatre Royal or Nelson Repertory Theatre website.

Step into the enchanting world of My Fair Lady, the beloved Broadway classic musical that tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a spirited Cockney flower girl with big dreams, and Henry Higgins, a brilliant but arrogant phonetics professor. Higgins bets he can transform Eliza into a proper lady of society through speech and manners alone; their unlikely journey of self-discovery, romance and transformation begins.

With charming and witty songs like "I Could Have Danced All Night" and "Wouldn't It Be Loverly”, you are in for a real musical treat; featuring the creme de la creme of Nelson’s acting and singing talent.
