Join a Social Game on Artificial Intelligence
Take part in a novel research study where YOU design the future! You don’t need to know anything about AI, but you must be at least 18 years of age to participate. Learn more about the project below, and invite your friends!
About the Project
Pre-Singularity is a social simulation game about our futures with artificial intelligence (AI). It runs for six weeks, beginning on March 27 and ending on May 7, 2023. The project is conducted under the Master’s Future Design program at Prague City University.
During the simulation, players access "news of the future" — research-based predictions on how AI might affect us and created with the help of generative AI. Based on the players' responses to the prompts, the stories develop in novel ways. A new major theme on AI is introduced each week.
The purpose of the simulation is to prepare people for a life with AI by inviting them to "live through" possible scenarios and empowering them to work towards their preferred futures. Outcomes will be exhibited at a final showcase in Prague, Czech Republic in June 2023 (there will be photos/videos!)
