        Subject: Attending to Technology in a Time of Radical Change: symposium at King's College London, 10 June

    Dear All,


    The Centre for Attention Studies at King’s College London invites you
    to an afternoon symposium on how we can attend to technology,
    cognitively and affectively, in the present moment of radical epistemic
    and social change. The symposium will examine various ways in which
    developments in machine learning, generative AI and biometrics are
    impacting human language, cognition, embodiment, as well as our living
    environments and political ecologies. It will also explore ways of
    anchoring us – through ideas, concepts and images.
