SUMMARY:Discovery Café (Free event)
DESCRIPTION:Nuclear Family: Growing up in Ottawa at the beginning of the nuclear age \nAuthor Jean Van Loon is a life-long resident of Ottawa. Her poems\, stories and reviews have appeared in literary magazines across the country\, most recently in the Queen’s Quarterly and (forthcoming) The New Quarterly. She is a graduate of Carleton\, Queen’s\, Humber Graduate School of Writing\, and UBC’s MFA program in Creative Writing. \nJean will read from her second poetry collection\, Nuclear Family (McGill-Queen’s 2022)\, winner of the 2023 Ottawa Book Award for fiction. The book’s details of 1940s and 50s Ottawa and the role Canada played in the U.S. nuclear development program may invite discussion of other people’s memories of the time. \nJean presented her first book a few years ago at Discovery Cafe. That book (a finalist in 2019 for the same Ottawa award) was Building on River (Cormorant Books\, 2018). Its evocation of the life and times of J.R. Booth\, greatest of the Ottawa Valley lumber kings\, provoked many audience recollections. \nAdmission is free and refreshments will be served. No registration is required.

SUMMARY:Discovery Café (Free event)
DESCRIPTION:Education\, Society\, and Generative AI \nA number of artificial intelligence (AI) programs came out in the early 2020s that generate images (like Midjourney)\, music\, and text (like ChatGPT). These generative AI programs surprised even long-time AI researchers with what they could do. How do they work? How will they affect education\, creative work for humans\, and society in general? \nOur speaker will be Jim Davies (http://www.jimdavies.org/)\, professor at the Department of Cognitive Science at Carleton University in Ottawa\, Ontario. He is the author of Imagination: The Science of Your Mind’s Greatest Power and Riveted: The Science of Why Jokes Make us Laugh\, Movies Make us Cry\, and Religion Makes us Feel One with the Universe\, and Being the Person Your Dog Thinks You Are: The Science of a Better You. He co-hosts (with Dr. Kim Hellemans) the award-winning podcast Minding the Brain. Director of the Science of Imagination Laboratory\, he explores processes of visualization in humans and machines and specializes in artificial intelligence\, analogy\, problem-solving\, and the psychology of art\, religion\, and creativity. \nIn his spare time\, he is a published poet\, game designer\, and fiction writer\, an internationally-produced playwright\, and a professional artist and calligrapher. His sister is novelist JD Spero.
