Artificial Intelligence is everywhere—from the photo enhancer in your smartphone to the virtual assistant in your kitchen. But what is it exactly?

CHOM5KY vs. CHOMSKY is an engaging and collaborative virtual reality experience that invites us to examine the promises and pitfalls of AI, while posing the question of what we’re hoping to achieve and at what cost. Guided by an entity built on the digital traces of Noam Chomsky and driven by conversation, the experience offers a thought-provoking take on how artificial intelligence intersects with human life. An exploration of the human capacity for creativity, inquiry and collaboration, CHOM5KY vs. CHOMSKY reveals how little we know about the human mind. So what is it exactly that we’re trying to replicate with AI?

Created by Sandra Rodriguez, CHOM5KY vs. CHOMSKY is a co-production by the National Film Board of Canada and SCHNELLE BUNTE BILDER, with support from the Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg.
