Talbot Society Lecture with Sir Adrian Smith

To mark the launch of the Talbot Society Lecture series, we welcome you to an evening at the Royal Society — an occasion for ideas, dialogue, and inspiration.

Professor Sir Adrian Smith, Keble Honorary Fellow and President of the Royal Society, will speak on the pressing question:

“Can rational thinking survive the digital age?”

In a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence and rapid digital transformation, Sir Adrian will examine the challenges and opportunities for reasoned thought, sound decision-making, and the future of knowledge itself.
