AI MED VERA
- digital video courses
Do you ever wonder why it can be so hard to stop scrolling?
Do you wonder what the consequenses of our increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) are?
AI MED VERA (AI WITH VERA) is a project where art, technology and learning merge. Electric boogie dancer and choreographer Julie Kunz has in collaboration with Uppercut Danseteater and two students from Artificial Intelligence & Data at DTU put together this video course to spread knowledge to young people and adults about the subject AI. AI is a technology that almost everyone interacts with in everyday life, and it increasingly forms the basis of the entire mechanism of society. Therefore we think it is important to shed light on what is going on behind the doors of tech.
AI With Vera consists of four videos in the length of ten minutes. We are diving in to different topics such as: What is AI, how is it affecting out daily lives, biased AI, AI’s effect on the job market, how we can use the technology positively and much more.
The videos have so far been used by schools who have purchased the live performance Humanoid (where the same character, Vera, appears) and by private people.
We have developed 28 pages of teaching material with fun, engaging assignments to go with the videos (these can be sent upon request).
