Join the Gould Center for a night of theatrical fun as research assistants from the Gould's special project on The Impact of AI on the Humanities present a legal theatre performance on AI and human creativity. In this parody trial, the prosecution—led by an expert inspired by a well-known CMC professor who is vocally critical of AI—argues that AI is stripping away the crucial human quality of creativity. On the defense stand, AI itself takes the stage, sharing its own stories and making the case for its value in enhancing human creativity. The performance is filled with humor and mischief, drawing from the group's past year of research. As part of the jury, you’ll evaluate compelling arguments on both sides and even have the chance to speak up as the jury spokesperson. Don’t miss this engaging and thought-provoking evening!
