I am Echoborg
A funny, thought-provoking show created afresh each time by the audience in conversation with an artificial intelligence. In this live show, members of the audience are given the chance to talk to a state of the art self-learning AI. The host sets the audience a challenge; to agree a best possible outcome for relations between humans and intelligent machines. But the AI itself has another agenda and it can also learn from the audience. The content and tone of each show, as well as the ending are different each time depending on the conversation they have.
This is a pioneering use of AI as a tool to deliver genuine audience agency in the creation of an experiential exploration of the impacts of automation on what it is to be human.
