Maastricht Young Academy: Eternal You + Paneldiscussie
After the screening of Eternal You - a documentary about the world of startups trying to bring the dead back to 'life' by creating avatars of deceased people with AI - there will be a panel discussion, led by Dr Katleen Gabriels, moral philosopher and a philosopher of technology, specialised in computer and machine ethics.
MYA is a group of early-career researchers who have come together with the aim of providing an independent – and if necessary, critical – platform within Maastricht University. At Lumière, we enjoy collaborating with MYA to explore and discuss various (current) topics through film. With the purchase of a ticket, you will receive a drink token.
Eternal You - English subtitled
If you had the opportunity to talk to a deceased loved one, would you take it? Eternal You delves into the world of start-ups that try to bring the dead back to ‘life’ by creating avatars of the deceased with AI.
The urgent and extremely topical documentary ETERNAL YOU explores the age-old, deep-seated human desire for immortality and asks important questions about making this dream a commercial reality. What effect does bringing loved ones to life via artificial intelligence (AI) have? Can we still distinguish real from fake – and is that a bad thing? Is this a technological miracle, or should we be concerned about the human toll this technology may take?
