IKI.radikalmensch

In the organizer's words:

Peter is in a happy relationship with IKI. He desires her and trusts her. She is his ideal partner: friendly and communicative, devoted and caring. But IKI is an "Intimate Artificial Intelligence" that has taken over Peter's entire consciousness and whose voice has been developed from the frequencies of all his ex-girlfriends. Peter has created a cyborg partner entirely according to his own ideas. Functions such as remembering, commenting, intimate care, morality, secrecy and transparency can be controlled from level one to ten. IKI also monitors Peter's ecological footprint because, after all, he lives in an ecologically correct world in the near future. Everything seems so perfect, but it still doesn't make him happy. And so he resets IKI to factory settings. Suddenly IKI has disappeared and UKI appears - a "Universal Artificial Intelligence". UKI can no longer be controlled by Peter and develops a radically human life of its own. Kevin Rittberger takes a critical and humorous look at the near future of humanity and at love in the age of artificial intelligence. Because if AI takes on a life of its own at some point, it will deem us humans superfluous and drive forward our abolition. Or will it?
