If there was a buzzword of the year, it would likely be AI. The computer-powered intelligence technology has seemingly been harnessed in nearly every industry: in music it’s being used to write songs, in academia it’s being used to facilitate research, and in science it’s being used to engineer machines, create new drugs, and look into space.
Recently, theatre has also been getting the AI treatment, with several plays tackling the fascinating topic. These include Jennifer Tang and Company’s 2021 play AI – which used the tech to help develop its script and considered “the algorithms at work in the world around us” – and THEaiTRE, a 2021 Czech project where a whole play was written by AI.
