Film
- Language talk: English
What remains of human love when artificial help is deployed? What can computers learn? And can we make a virtual copy of the real world? This program examines pressing questions about artificial intelligence in an entertaining mix of five short films.
TALK For this Q&A, we invited a very special guest. The now infamous chatbot ChatGPT will join us on stage. She will answer all our question on artificial intelligence, its influence on the world, and whatever more you want to know. Can she, indeed, replace our beloved speakers?

Hysteresis
