Coming up next week! We are excited to host an upcoming University of Cambridge ThinkLab and Intellectual Forum, Jesus College online conversation with Professor Naomi S. Baron on her new book, Reader Bot: What Happens When AI Reads — and Why It Matters
🗓 Monday 23 February 2026
🕑 2:00–3:00 PM GMT
📍 Online (Zoom)
As AI tools increasingly scan, interpret, and summarise text for us, this session asks a timely question: What do we gain — and what might we lose — when we let AI read on our behalf?
Naomi Baron (Professor of Linguistics, American University) is a leading voice on language, reading, and technology, and her work speaks directly to current debates on literacy, learning, and culture in an AI-mediated world.
If you’re working in education, research, publishing, product design, or just curious about the future of reading, we’d love to have you join us.
