Jil Larson, Professor in the Department of English, will speak on "Artificial Intelligence and the Complexities of Love and Creativity in Ishiguro's Klara and the Sun" as part of the Center for the Study of Ethics in Society's lecture series. The talk will be on Nov. 5 at 5:30 p.m. in Room 2209 of the Student Center. It explores how Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel helps us think about the ethics of artificial intelligence and other technological advances in relation to the perennial philosophical question of what it means to be human. 

Dr. Larson serves on the Ethics Center's advisory board and has developed literature courses on topics such as ethics and belief and ethics, science and the future. Her current research focuses on memory and ethics in the fiction of Kazuo Ishiguro.
