If you can talk to a book, do you still need to read it? If AI learns from an author's work, who should get paid? Join authors, readers and people building the future of media for a Jubilee-inspired debate on books, media and AI. Five claims. Five defenders. One big circle. HOW IT WORKS Each claim has a defender chosen before the event. A timer starts, and challengers take turns in the seat across from them. The outer circle raises red flags when it's time for a fresh voice; a majority sends the challenger out and someone new tags in. When time runs out, a new defender takes on the next claim. We close by sharing the arguments that changed our minds. Want to see the format? Watch Jubilee's AI debate with Andrew Yang: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=020ZvO0FbMM THE FIVE CLAIMS 1. Talking to an AI version of a book can be more valuable than reading it. 2. Authors should be paid whenever AI uses their work, even if it never quotes a sentence. 3. An AI trained on an author's work should be allowed to give advice the author never wrote. 4. Personalized AI media will make us less curious, not more informed. 5. When a story moves us, whether a human or AI wrote it shouldn't matter. You don't need to be an AI expert. Come ready to defend a position, challenge one, or change your mind.
