AI: More than Human

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.

The exhibition concluded its latest run at the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB). It is set to make waves at the TELUS Spark Science Centre in Calgary, where it opened on June 1, 2024.
