It was a pleasure to give a guest artist talk on the topic of "Theatre and Artificial Intelligence" for the American Studies graduate program at the University of Bucharest. A wonderful group of smart and knowledgeable students asked insightful questions about my work, particularly my "AI plays" Zebra 2.0 and What Happens Next. The 90 minutes passed so fast as we also debated larger issues about the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the contemporary society, human-machine interactions, ethical aspects of AI development, theatre as a tool for exploring such expansive issues, interdisciplinarity in higher education, scientists&artists collaborations, etc. A truly inspiring conversation - thank you, Diana Benea, for the invitation.

A pleasure to be interviewed by Lucía Cárdenas on her cool and insightful YouTube channel "What If I Say Yes".
I had to look back at my life and think about my 'yes'-es an 'no'-s.
Now you can all be my 'therapists' - did I make the right choice?
Kudos to Lucía for getting us to have these meaningful conversations and discoveries.
