Project description
Future-oriented, resilient societies require a critical engagement with possible futures. Using an interdisciplinary, practice-based approach, the project Futuring Machines investigates the potential of Human-AI interactions as disruptive thought-provoking impulses to facilitate critical reflection on future scenarios and foster perspective change through the writing of fictions and imaginary stories. To this end, our interdisciplinary team develops an AI-supported writing tool that will be deployed in participatory workshops with diverse actors, and that can be tested at the Summaery.
