The Provocateurs: Brave New Bullshit / Copyright Kills Kittens is a spoken word double bill at Stand 4, hosted by comedian Sarah-Jane Judge. Professor Philip Wadler from The University of Edinburgh separates the genuine hopes and threats of AI from the chatbot bullshit. Then Dr Smita Kheria, also from The University of Edinburgh, debates whether copyright law truly serves the interests of artists and creatives. Two of the most contested topics in technology and culture, tackled by academics with the wit of a comedy night.
Why see this show?
AI hype and copyright law — two subjects that affect everyone, explained by university researchers and anchored by a comedian. Rarely do the Fringe's big ideas nights feel this immediately relevant.
