About

How have media representations shaped public perceptions of artificial intelligence, and how will a new generation of creatives find innovative ways to represent AI and its impact on society?

Featuring plenary conversations with Laeta Kalogridis and Bruce Sterling, the Bad AI and Beyond Festival will introduce faculty research into how we understand AI, while showcasing student video, prose, and even poetry that gives fictional and non-fictional accounts of the social impact of AI. Last but not least, the festival will premiere a student-built computer game, Buddi-Bot, that dramatizes the introduction of AI into everyday life.
