The AI Goosebumps Club is based on the simple idea of creating thought experiments to explore questions such as ; Could an AI get goosebumps? Could  it? No way? Is that a good question? If so, why? If not, why not? Could an AI be a “Member of the Family”? Exert authority over you? Be wistful? Four panelists will each create a thought experiment, exploring the emerging relationship between our embodied human selves and AI. Thinking through  these issues, whether you are “in the business” , a partner, a colleague, son or daughter will give you some “tools for your head”, some  of thinking, in a number of contexts both person and professional about your relationship with AI. These are issues about power and politics, poetry, intelligence, meaning and responsibility.
