My main takeaway from this "automation bias", the assumption that if the AI says it it must be true. Basically "computer says no", market fetishism or (as my partner immediately clocked) the plot of Brazil.

Should we be Resisting or Embracing AI? with David Raho

Europe in the Pub
Monday 19th January 7:30pm
Farm Road Sports & Social Club S2 2TP

Organised by Languages & Cultures at Sheffield Hallam and the Association for Skeptical Enquiry

From the glowing red eye of HAL 9000 to the chatbot currently sitting in your pocket, Artificial Intelligence has shifted from a sci-fi nightmare to a daily reality. But as the technology accelerates, so does the anxiety. In this talk, David cuts through the noise to ask the ultimate question: Should We Be Resisting or Embracing AI? Join us as we explore whether we should be barricading the doors against AI or inviting it in.

David is a PhD researcher in Law and Criminology at Sheffield Hallam University, investigating the comparative adoption of AI in Probation and Rehabilitation across England and Wales, Brazil, and Japan. He combines this academic work with broad practical experience, working within Probation and more recently with the AI team at His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service. He is both a Trustee and Fellow of the Probation Institute.

Forthcoming topics
23rd February 2026: Mars Nicoli on Trans Horror in European Film

This month, a week earlier than normal, Europe in the Pub has Harriet Earle on Whose war is it anyway? Vietnam, the US and France in conflict... and comics! Monday 18th August, 7:30pm, The Museum. Come along, and bring friends.

Whose war is it anyway? Vietnam, the US and France in conflict... and comics! with Harriet Earle
We all know the image of the American soldier, fresh from jungle combat with a wild stare. He's the staple of Vietnam War pop culture created by the war's losers - the USA. In film and comics, the yank is a mainstay. Sometimes, we also see the French - not often, and not always favourably portrayed. But the war in Vietnam did not belong to either countries; it belongs to Vietnam. After all, in Vietnam, the war is known as Kháng chiến chống Mỹ ('Resistance War against America'). Okay, enough word play. Where are the Vietnamese in American comics of the war? Are they capable warriors or childlike naifs? Are they monstrous or are they simply missing?
