Can complex living organisms be imitated? Recent developments in technology and in particular artificial intelligence might convey the idea that creatures like Frankenstein or Golem are no longer mere fantasies, but could actually be within the realm of possibilities. We empower our machines with the ability to think, speak, move and interact thereby creating a solid illusion of living creatures and evoking empathy. What triggers this illusion? What is the psychological foundation of this illusion? These issues will be tackled by artists and researchers working on the illusion of living creatures.
⇒ To continue your immersion in artificial intelligence, come and see the film in the cinéma le Club – Grenoble, Her de Spike Jonze, on 8 February at 20.15 followed by a discussion. The film will be projected as part of the CINÉDUC, one of the events of the Maison des Enseignants et de l’Education tout au long de la vie – Grenoble. (Centre for Teachers and Life Long Learning)
