Films about AI and intelligent robots highly speak to our imagination. What do these narratives tell us about ourselves?About this Event
Films about AI and intelligent robots highly speak to our imagination. Think about Wall-E, Blade Runner 2049, Chappie, Interstellar or A.I. And if we look closely at those stories, what can we tell about our connection with them?
Robots are portrayed as noble or innocent beings, choosing solitude or sacrifice over personal (human) emotions like jealousy, possessiveness, or desire on the one hand. On the other, we use robots as sex toys, companions, or slaves. What do these narratives tell us about ourselves? About our shortcomings, fears and struggles with being human.
Join us for an exploration through film clips, two thought-provoking mini-lectures, and discuss our relationship with AI and robots during this event in the TU Delft Library. Together, we'll peel back the layers of humanity's relationship with AI and consider what it reveals about our deepest longings—and our darkest impulses.
And since we’re all still human, we end this session with pizza en drinks.
