Dr Karl Live at City Hall

  • - (AEST)
  • Hobart City Hall
    57-63 Macquarie Street, Hobart TAS 7000, Australia

Artificial intelligence, artificial idiocy, or probability machine?

Join Dr Karl as he connects the dots between the tech booms of yesterday — from the family car to the first home computers — and today’s mind-bending AI explosion. Along the way, he’ll share how AI has been used to both attack and discredit him, and how he’s now turning the tables to make it a Force for Good.

Expect real science stuff, genuinely funny (not artificially generated) stories, a few unexpected detours and — of course — question time with prizes.

This session is part of the Beaker Street Main Stage at Hobart City Hall. Your House Band for the evening will be the dangerously well-rehearsed Stevie and the Bunsen Burners. Enter through Market Place, where you'll find drinks, food, fires, and friendly strangers. Come early, stay late to enjoy all the action.

Location Information

The home of Beaker Street's Main Stage and ground-zero of the Festival Epicentre. This stunning heritage building will be transformed into a suave science saloon, with cabaret style seating, live music, and a jam-packed program of events. From Thursday night, right through to Sunday afternoon, the City Hall Main Stage will be buzzing with all things science. Then after hours, the madness descends and the space transforms into the biggest, baddest nightclub in Hobart.
