Laufzeit:	4 Jahre

Social bots - machines that interact for us as social partners - are increasingly encountered in our everyday lives. How does this affect us as interaction partners? And how will our interactions with the machines develop? The project uses the theater stage as an artistic-scientific experimental platform to address these questions from the perspective of applied anthropomorphism - in this case, the attribution of human characteristics to the machine. On stage, the four collaborating disciplines - psychology, computational linguistics, theater studies, and media studies - come together to test specific questions and create sensitivity to the challenges that the co-existence of humans and AI holds in the future. Actors will interact with social bots in a four-year series of experiments and performances. The team aims to identify emotional, behavioral, and cognitive patterns to understand in detail the conditions of anthropomorphization. The findings will be used in psychological trainings, the media theoretical implications will be reflected upon, and simulations for a general human-machine co-evolution will be created and brought into public discourse.
