Shirin Brown’s new comedic play My AI Twin, puts a political twist on the use of Artificial Intelligence.
Xan, an elected councillor to local government, is making a bid for the mayoralty of her city. Overwhelmed by the demands of campaigning in a world dominated by social media she decides to use an AI twin as an online physical presence to connect with more people.
Through comedy and irony, the play explores the challenges, particularly for women, of standing for election, the ethics of using AI twins which digitally replicate real people, and the pressures of campaigning in an age of social media. This is all particularly topical as we come into local body elections in September.
There will be a Q+A on both Thursday and Friday night straight after the performance at 7.30pm.
Thursday Q+A | Cast and Crew
Friday Q+A | Surprise guest discussion about women in politics and local government elections.
