Open Lab Abend: Demystify AI!
AI is a buzzword that's everywhere at the moment. But understanding what AI is, what it can do and where its limitations lie doesn't have to feel like rocket science. In this workshop, we will zoom out to look at the larger structures underlying today's technologies. We'll explore what's really going on behind our screens, focusing on the most current and relevant issues and their impact on people and the planet. Join us to start demystifying AI systems and what they mean for us, society and the planet.

As part of the Open Lab evening, you will also be able to explore Tactical Tech's 'Everywhere, All the Time' exhibition, which covers key topics such as how AI chatbots work and the hidden labour behind the technology, the attention-grabbing designs behind popular games, and the physical infrastructures that power the internet.
