Politics of the Machines Conference : Synthetic Sentience

The 2025 POM Conference is where thinkers, makers, and boundary-pushers come together to explore sentience in all its strange, beautiful, and unsettling forms. From artificial intelligence and autonomous machines to brain organoids and lab-grown meat, we’re diving into the messy crossroads of science, art, ethics, and culture.

Whether you’re decoding algorithms, building synthetic life, writing speculative fiction, or just asking big, weird questions—this is your space. Expect unexpected tracks, uncomfortable questions, and unforgettable conversations.
