I'm (not) a robot Kick-off event – Joscha Bach
I'm (not) a robot - creative challenge with AIs and humans
/
What are the main differences between us and algorithms? How can we reveal AI technologies in our everyday lives and “make fun of them” or even use them as creative tools?
In times of homeschooling, distance learning and social distancing our society is in close contact with Artificial Intelligences in everyday life. This international challenge is aimed at experimenting with AI through exploring the limits of humanness and robotness.
On the 20th of May 2021, we presented a Kick-off event with thought-provoking talks and an introductory workshop about robot and human psychology, about how (and whether) machines can dream and examples of creative AI applications.
For the challenge we are kicking off, we are inviting young people under the age of 21. The challenge meetings (1x-2x/month) will contain introductory talks by AI experts, creative workshops, games (and game-making), group work, mentorship and presentation opportunities between June 2021 and January 2022. The language of the challenge is English, it is open for international participants and it's free.
Register to take part here until the 27th of May 2021:
