Film och samtal: AI, människan och juridiken

Välkomna till visning av den prisbelönta kortfilmen GUILTY NOT GUILTY med tillhörande forskarsamtal och dialog.

Vad händer när juridiken inte går jämna steg med tekniken? 

Hur ska ansvar utkrävas när det inte längre är en människa som ligger bakom besluten? 

Hur förhåller sig lagen till ”Deep fake” och andra exempel på kreativ AI?

Filmen Guilty Not Guilty är en 5 min kort, fri fiktionsfilm som twistar komplexa frågor och där filmskaparna utmanar känslor och tankar kring etiska och filosofiska aspekter av autonoma system och artificiell intelligens. Här ser vi filmen tillsammans med Karin Wegsjö, regissör och filmskapare, Eva Krutmeijer, forskningskommunikatör och forskarna Gregor Noll, vars forskning inspirerat till filmen, och Katja de Vries.

Vi träffas i Filmhusets restaurang för ett glas bubbel kl 17.30. Filmvisningen startar kl 18 i Bio Victor.

Abstract:

Cal Flyn’s Islands of Abandonment is a book about abandoned places: ghost towns and exclusion zones, no man’s lands and post-industrial hinterlands – and what happens when nature is allowed to reclaim its place. Exploring extraordinary places where humans no longer live – or survive in tiny, precarious numbers – Islands of Abandonment gives us a glimpse of what nature gets up to when we’re not there to see it. From Tanzanian mountains to the volcanic Caribbean, the forbidden areas of France to the mining regions of Scotland, Flyn brings together some of the most desolate, eerie, ravaged and polluted areas in the world – and shows how, against all odds, they offer our best opportunities for environmental recovery.

Sarah Thomas’s short documentary Óshlíð: River Mouth \\ Slope is an homage to an abandoned coastal road in Iceland’s Westfjords – a road which once connected her home to the last village before the Arctic Circle. It was made spontaneously with filmmaker Jonny Randall in response to the road’s imminent collapse. As well as a document of a ‘ruin’, the film itself became a powerful act of place making. Sarah will talk about the place, the process of making the film, and then bringing it back to screen it in situ. 

Preparation:

IN order to prepare for the seminar, please, watch Sarah Thomas’s short documentary Óshlíð: River Mouth \\ Slope (30min long).
