Thursday Night Live! Vertical Atlas: China.ai

Nieuwe Instituut is het nationale museum voor architectuur, design en digitale cultuur. Nieuwe Instituut houdt zich bezig met de grote ontwikkelingen in de maatschappij, zoals de krapte op de woningmarkt, de energietransitie, de opkomst van kunstmatige intelligentie, mobiliteit of het gebruik van de publieke ruimte. Ontwerpers, waaronder architecten en digitale makers, kunnen aan die ontwikkelingen een belangrijke bijdrage leveren. Nieuwe Instituut toont het werk van ontwerpers, brengt mensen met elkaar in contact, verzamelt, ontwikkelt en deelt kennis.

The most competitive domain in global technology is the development of AI, that holds the key, as many believe,  to economic, political and technological dominance for the parties managing to wield its power. China stands at the forefront of these developments, in direct competition with various states and tech companies, and is developing a specific Chinese branch ofmanmade intelligence  (as the exact English translation of the mandarin phrase for AI would be) based on the unique techno-political circumstances in the Chinese geozone.
This Vertical Atlas focuses on  the implications of AI developments in Chinese city management, political and economic governance as well as in the current Chinese cultural imagination. With presentations by Shuang Lu Frost, Harvard University anthropologist, and Chen Qiufan (aka Stanley Chen), renowned sci-fi writer.
The program opens with the book launch of Introduction to Comparative Planetology, by Lukáš Likavčan, that  presents an analysis of visual cultures of imagining the Earth and the geopolitics of climate emergency.  Different figures of the planet – the Planetary, the Globe, the Terrestrial, Earth-without-us and Spectral Earth are compared in order to assess their geopolitical implications.
