About this event
The festival is excited to welcome special guests the ORCHESTRE NATIONAL DE JAZZ to perform an exploration of improvisations between instrumentalists and a machine within a large jazz orchestra.
The interactive all-day event is open to the public and will showcase the ways in which the University of Southampton is using the convergence of AI and the arts to explore crucial questions around how we are going to live responsibly and in harmony with powerful machines unleashed by revolutions in computing power and machine learning.
Is AI just a new chapter in the long story of humans living with machines? Or is it a new, threatening reality? Come along and find out for yourself.
The festival culminates with a lively panel discussion into these questions, featuring Dame Wendy Hall, BBC technology journalist Bill Thompson and other special guests. Followed by a late-night standup comedy set all about AI, from fantastic local comedians.
A production of the University of Southampton organised by the Web Science Institute in collaboration with the Winchester School of Art and the Southampton Institute for Arts and Humanities.
