Sloan Foundation, "Our Automated Future: Science through Storytelling" takes a journey into a series of speculative futures crafted by students in SCI-Arc's EDGE Fiction and Entertainment postgraduate program directed by coordinator Liam Young with program faculty Alexey Marfin. These future worlds incorporate techniques of film, fiction, video games, virtual reality, and documentary to tell stories about the emerging conditions of the twenty-first century in a world where artificial intelligence and automation are ubiquitous and myriad autonomous objects populate our daily life. The work engages emerging science and technology to explore the implications and possibilities of AI and automation for the futures of work and personal relationships. Scientists and technologies mentored and collaborated with the SCI-Arc Fiction and Entertainment students in the production of these future worlds. The films are also engaged with bringing techniques from the entertainment industry into the science and technology disciplines. The cutting-edge research of these scientists and technologists portends fundamental changes that are coming about in our lives within the contexts of AI and automation. See less
