- FREE ENTRY
The intervention “Dance, Neurodiversity and Robots” is part of the research that focuses on the power dynamics between humans and technology in the field of mental health.
In English
There are many robots that are supposed to perform empathy. Bots-therapists, bots-companions, apps that help to improve your psychology. Human therapists in neoliberal mental health care system can be quite robotic too.
Scientists are working on breaking biases of Artificial Intelligence in how AI relates to people. But what if AI is “mentally unstable”? Can we practice inclusion towards it? Does it need therapy? If I wanted to talk to an AI instead of a human, I would like it to be relatable. What if it’s conditioned to have a disorder as well as I am? Now we’re talking.
