The Singularity is Here

Today, May 23rd, 2023, marks the launch of "The Singularity is Here", a multilayered art intervention where visitors have 60 seconds to decide whether to launch the Singularity or not, initiating critical discussions about the far-reaching consequences of artificial intelligence (AI) on society.

The installation serves as a reminder of the existential threats we face without proper frameworks in place and calls for stronger regulations to ensure the safe advancement of exponential technologies.

Why

We envision a future where ethical principles and human values guide AI development. To achieve this, we urge public and government involvement in shaping the ethical and regulatory frameworks governing AI.

Who

We are engaged citizens - artists, scientists, designers, programmers, entrepreneurs, philosophers, poets, physicists, volunteers, and individuals of all kinds - who recognize the transformative power of AI in reshaping our world.

How

We are convinced that by encouraging wide-ranging conversations and envisioning future scenarios via artistic initiatives, we can collectively conceptualize futures where AI serves the best interests of all humankind.

Join

We invite you to join the conversation, reflect on the potential consequences of AI on our lives, and contribute to shaping a better tomorrow in alignment with the values and collective efforts that brought "The Singularity is Here" to life.
