THE ETHICAL CONUNDRUM OF MEMOIR IN THE AGE OF AI

January 14, 2026

Wednesday 14th January
18:00- 20:00
bookhaus
Bristol

Memoir is not so much what we remember, but how we remember, which makes it one of the most highly subjective literary forms. This also makes it ethically problematic, because your way of remembering might be contested by close friends or family. But true stories are powerful. Award-winning writer, Alice Jolly, and memoir expert Lily Dunn will be discussing memoir as a form for our times, and a necessary defence against AI. Unpredictable, fallible, occasionally unbelievable, do the events that pepper most human lives defy the predictive powers of AI technology?
