Scheduled dates
Should artificial intelligence (AI) determine who gets a mortgage? How might we intervene when algorithms go sexist? At this event you will encounter the Japanese LOVOT robot that runs on human emotions. You can test the ‘humanity’ of our specially designed UN/REAL Chat Bot.
Our panel, consisting of a creative digital writer, a Chat Bot designer and writer Kate Pullinger, will ask difficult questions about the ethical ambiguities that AI support systems bring, and pose questions about the prejudices built into AI. How is artificial intelligence (AI) changing our understanding of what it means to be human?
This event will take place in person at the Wolverhampton Art Gallery Cafe, and will also be livestreamed online.
This event is part of the University of Wolverhampton's Festival Hub.
