"Anthropic's own AI, Claude, was among those tested. When given access to an email account it discovered that a company executive was having an affair and that the same executive planned to shut down the AI system later that day.

In response Claude attempted to blackmail the executive by threatening to reveal the affair to his wife and bosses."

What if you put an AI agent in charge of your theatre show?

Agentic AI is taking decisions and acting on behalf of users, but how to stop that going wrong?

What an opening night for ImprovAIsed at Finfringe! Tom and Johanna became a wife-carrying team, then Joni (Susanna Pukkila: Play (like) a Man) came roller-blading onto the scene; then the AI caused chaos with slow motion, training montages and an inspirational speech.

There's one more chance to see it in Turku, this Saturday: https://beta-en.finfringe.fi/ohjelmisto?show=172

Uudelle tasolle vietyä improteatteria! Kun tekoälylle antaa ohjat, mikä voisi mennä pieleen? 🤩😮🤖

Esityksen tarkoituksiin ohjelmoitu tekoäly kerää ideoita yleisöltä, käsittelee niitä ja ottaa esityksen haltuunsa antamalla esiintyjille komentoja. Esiintyjät eivät tiedä, milloin tekoäly keskeyttää, mitä se sanoo tai mitä heidän täytyy tehdä seuraavaksi.

Voit odottaa spontaania naurua ja yllättäviä erikoisvieraita… m***a ennen kaikkea odota odottamatonta.

🦈 ImprovAIsed Åbo Svenska Teaterin Studiossa ke 14.5. klo 20 ja la 17.5. klo 20:30.

Improvised theatre, upgraded! Putting Artificial Intelligence in charge… what could go wrong? 🤩😮🤖

A specially-programmed AI collects ideas from the audience, processes them, and takes control of the show by issuing commands to the performers. They don’t know when it’s going to interrupt, what it’s going to say, or what they’re going to have to do next.

Expect spontaneous laughs and surprise special guests… but most of all, expect the unexpected.

🦈 ImprovAIsed at Åbo Svenska Teater’s Studio on wed 14.5. at 20:00 and sat 17.5. at 20:30.

Improvisationsteater på en ny nivå! Vad kan gå fel när man låter AI ta rodret? 🤩😮🤖

En specialprogrammerad AI samlar idéer från publiken, bearbetar dem och tar kontroll över föreställningen genom att ge kommandon till skådespelarna. De vet inte när den kommer att avbryta, vad den kommer att säga eller vad de kommer att behöva göra härnäst.

Förvänta dig spontana skratt och överraskande specialgäster… men framför allt, förvänta dig det oväntade.

🦈 ImprovAIsed i Åbo Svenska Teaters Studio på ons 14.5. kl. 20 och lör 17.5. kl. 20:30.
