Conversation with a Bot

Audio walk, 45 min, Ancient Agora, Athens

Conversation with a Bot – An AI Walk through the Ancient Agora is a peripatetic, dialogic guided tour based on the creator’s interaction with Artificial Intelligence (AI) models, presented as a stroll through the Ancient Agora, in the very heart of the city of Athens. George Drivas invites an AI model to ‘walk’ beside him through an emblematic site of the city, engaging in a philosophical conversation structured as a sequence of questions and answers, in the spirit of a Socratic dialogue. A fundamental premise is established from the outset: the AI model does not know where it is and has no prior information about the space.
