Building on last year’s explorations of artificial intelligence’s creative potential within the performing arts, this performance combines satire, drama, improvisation, and multimedia to create an original work. Much has changed in the world of AI since last year’s event, so professors and students have continued to navigate the evolving and complex relationships between artificial intelligence and humans.

The core story of the performance follows a human moving through a progression of AI loops, with scenes derived from real news stories and fictional scenarios. Audience participation is encouraged! Patrons may be asked to provide suggestions for an AI improv comedy scene, ask questions during an AI press conference, or ponder the differences between AI and human-created content.

Be sure to stay for an engaging discussion with faculty and student artists immediately following the show.
