Encoding Cultures: Karen Palmer | RIOT. The Film that Watches You Back

Recent advances in the field of artificial intelligence are revolutionizing the way with which we think and act.

Living Amongst Intelligent Machines« brought scientists, programmers and developers, cultural theorists and artists into dialogue with a broader public. The lectures and discussions provide insight into the latest state of research and development in the field of machine learning and ask about the current and long-term effects of this technology on science, business, politics, art and society.
