V499 Van Buren Videoconference Rm

Abstract

How do you tell a complex energy story in just a few seconds — using AI as your creative partner?

In this hands-on, hybrid masterclass (in person + Zoom), participants will step inside the world of The Atomic Gamble, a documentary exploring AI’s growing thirst for energy and the turn to nuclear power for data centers. Instead of listening to a lecture about the film, you’ll actively create your own AI-assisted micro-documentary inspired by one chapter of its script.

Join us for an interactive Q&A-style conversation with award-winning author Yu Miri!

Ask her about her upcoming book, her past works, her life as a Korean national living in Japan, the hit Chinese musical based on one of her novels, and her current project at the University of Chicago.
