The Caring Machine
Cecilie Waagner Falkenstrøm / Denmark / AI Art / 2024 / International Premiere / 7 min
In the artwork The Caring Machine, we are invited to imagine that we are lying on our deathbeds, our loving digital companion 'sitting' by our side, watching over us, and speaking to us in a soothing human voice.
Is it possible to envision a future in which artificial intelligences perform similar tasks related to caretaking within a growing healthcare sector? And is artificial intelligence a comforting presence or a stark reminder of the way technology has infiltrated even our most intimate moments?
