I am Echoborg returns to LSE

Do you know what an Echoborg is? Would you know if you were dealing with one? An Echoborg is a human, whose actions are entirely dictated by Artificial Intelligence, or AI. They are a friendly, human interface for a machine. The interactive theatre piece I am Echoborg explores this bold new world of living with intelligent machines by giving audiences the chance to talk to a custom-built AI chatbot through an Echoborg who repeats its words. The audience are set a challenge - to discover a best possible outcome for relations between humans and intelligent machines but the AI itself has another agenda and it can also learn from the audience.
