  • Artificial - With AI to Immortality?
  • A deeply human family story
  • Geist Heidelberg, Lecture

Can we use artificial intelligence to preserve family history? What happens when we try to recreate loved ones through technology? In her graphic novel Artificial: A Love Story (2023), Amy Kurzweil documents the attempt by her famous father, computer pioneer Ray Kurzweil, to recreate the family’s fate with the help of a chatbot. We get to know the unusual Kurzweil family and learn how their search for meaning and relationships transcends the boundaries of life. On this evening, the audience can expect a fascinating look into the world of Amy Kurzweil and Ray Kurzweil’s inventive spirit and the question of how far can AI go?

Amy Kurzweil is an award-winning American author and illustrator. Her work has appeared in the New Yorker and the New York Times.
