| The Barbican presents a major new exhibition: 'AI: More than Human', an unprecedented survey of creative and scientific developments in artificial intelligence, exploring the evolution of the relationship between humans and technology. Part of 'Life Rewired', the Barbican's 2019 season exploring what it means to be human when technology is changing everything, 'AI: More than Human' tells the rapidly developing story of AI, from its extraordinary ancient roots in Japanese Shintoism and Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage's early experiments in computing, to AI's major developmental leaps from the 1940s to the present day to show how an age-old dream of creating intelligence has already become today?s reality. With digital media, immersive art installations and a chance for visitors to interact directly with exhibits to experience AI's capabilities first-hand, this festival-style exhibition takes place all over the Centretoexamine the subject from multiple, global perspectives and give visitors the tools to decide for themselves how to navigate our evolving world. It will ask the big questions: What does it mean to be human? What is consciousness? Will machines ever outsmart a human? And how can humans and machines work collaboratively?
