The Mulroney Institute and Sociology Department will be hosting a talk and book launch for researcher David Eliot's Articially Intelligent: The Very Human Story of AI (UTP, 2025). With the unprecedented adoption of AI and its far-reaching implications, people everywhere are witnessing the world change around them. In the book, Eliot places humans at the centre of AI's story, making a compelling case for the role we have yet to play in the technology's transformation of our world. As Eliot explains, the story of AI isn't finished. The question is: How will you be part of it?

All are welcome.

David Eliot is a PhD candidate at the University of Ottawa, where he researches the social and political effects of artificial intelligence. He is a member of the Critical Surveillance Studies Lab. His work on AI has been recognized with numerous awards, including the 2022 Pierre Elliott Trudeau PhD Scholarship.
