Taryn shows us what it means to push the edge of human capability, from her personal experiments with AI to working with paralyzed patients who use brain implants to create art and music through thought alone. Taryn Southern, Speaker & Storyteller, Blackrock Neurotech, Far Future Studio On June 17, Shared Futures: The AI Forum brought together cultural architects, artists, inventors and thinkers to explore how AI is reshaping the way we live, create, connect, and evolve. Through performances, conversations, and experiments, the forum offers a glimpse of how AI can deepen, and not diminish, what makes us human. Co-hosted by Aspen Digital, a program of the Aspen Institute, and the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, this one-day forum goes into the heart of what it means to imagine in an age of intelligent machines.
