TRAJECTORIES II WORKSHOPS: Decisions, Decisions
  • London Fringe

Ever wondered how machines learn? How do we make artificial intelligence intelligent? How do we teach machines to make choices and even moral judgements, something humans do every day?

In these hour-long workshops, artist Akvile Terminaite explains some of the latest research on how humans make moral and ethical decisions and how this can be applied to artificial intelligence. You'll then play a card game developed in association with Dr Albert Barque-Duran (Honorary Research Fellow in Cognitive Science at City, University of London), in which you'll explore the learning process of artificial intelligence and discover the potential and limitations of it.

Fun and interactive, this is a fantastic chance to dip your toe into a world that's going to touch all our lives over the decades to come.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD

Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
