Description:
Technical advancements, increasing investments, and reduced regulation in AI have sparked competing perspectives and actions. In this dynamic landscape, how might we make space for more expansive visioning about AI’s possibilities, ethical quandaries, and innovative policy options? Through a series of open workshops, this project employed applied theatre methods like storytelling and improvisation to do just that–bridging emotional and artificial intelligence, philosophical exploration and practical application, and playful improvisation with serious examination of a global issue.
