Am I AI? Into the deep of AI Singularity42! When artificial becomes our new nature: a conference with Dr. Thibaud Latour (Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technologies – LIST)

Followed by a panel discussion with Lynn Klemmer, Mnemozine; Robert Frankle, participating artist in the AII&Art Pavilion project in the context of Esch2022; Max Gindt, Digital Luxembourg. Presentation by Michel Delage, journalist at radio 100,7.

Singularity is the tipping point where relationships between variables cease to be deterministic, unleashing an infinite number of possible unpredictable futures with no return or escape path. Our entire individual and collective lives are full of singularities of all kinds. Some of them we are confronted with directly; others we come across consciously or unconsciously, actively or passively.

AI with its embodiment in artificial life potentially leads to singularities. What are the consequences? Can it be and will it be? Will artificial be our new nature? How are the stakes in art?

The process being nondeterministic, no clear answer can be given. However, a number of informed questions will help us give beginnings of an answer.
