Part of “Being Alone"

  • Dialogue
  • Online

Building on the collaborative AI short film project “AIsolation” (2025) by HAU Hebbel am Ufer and the Goethe-Institut Beijing, the online discussion “A Life with Artificial Intelligence: Between Connection and Loneliness” explores the paradox that, whilst AI systems counteract social and emotional loneliness on the one hand, they also contribute to it on the other. The focus is on artistic works that reflect on post-digital society using AI film tools or incorporate AI systems such as chatbots.
