AI: Breakthrough or Breaking Point?

When
  • Friday 24 April from 6:30pm to 9:30pm
Cost

Adult: $45MCA Member: $35Concession: $42Tertiary: $38

Experience a late-night festival of ideas, music and performance considering the possibilities and risks of artificial intelligence.

Presented by the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia and UNSW Centre for Ideas, this special after-hours event brings together engaging talks, live performances, participatory activations and an innovations showcase alongside DJs and a pop-up bar.

AI is the conundrum of our times.

Evangelists hail it as the greatest development humanity has ever known. Critics warn it is a destructive force that wreaks damage in every sphere. Considered by some to be as important to scientific breakthroughs as the microscope, yet capable of drawing on the brilliance of our brightest thinkers without their consent, how do we ensure AI is a force for good, not evil?

Across the evening, thought leaders, musicians, artists and digital creators will contemplate the urgent questions and creative possibilities that AI presents today. Experience art and music imagining new futures, as well as incredible hologram technology making its Australian public debut. Join us for an evening of provocation and wonder.

Tickets include entry into all exhibitions on display. This event is 18+.
