Having so much fun this morning at the #AIinFlux This was such a thought-provoking performance! Impressed by how well it is integrated into the traditional conf program. Artists have such amazing intuitions for the most profound questions about the human/ non-human boundaries. https://t.co/OGvZdDareZ
