Amy Kurzweil & Ann Cotten

In the organizer's words:

• Digital echoes
• AI, memory and the art of immortality
• In dialog, online events

Can we use artificial intelligence to preserve family history? What happens when we try to recreate loved ones through technology? In this transatlantic conversation, American comic artist Amy Kurzweil and US-born Austrian author and literary scholar Ann Cotten come together to explore the boundaries between artificial and human creativity, memory and digital immortality.

In her graphic novel Artificial: A Love Story, Amy Kurzweil documents her famous father Ray Kurzweil's attempt to re-experience the fate of the family with the help of a chatbot.
