I am (not) a robot
by create your world (AT), mb21 (DE), <19 (HU), ArtechLAB Amsterdam (NL)

The international network of create your world (AT), mb21 (DE) and <19 (HU) as well as ArtechLAB Amsterdam (NL) are all exploring different aspects of digitization through the eyes of youth and from the perspective of education. The challenge is a direct reaction to challenges posed to their longstanding youth exchange project by the global pandemic. With this new, fully online format, they aim to motivate participants to think about AI as a society-forming force in the most accessible way possible.

The international youth encounter project is a very successful format of Ars Electronica. create your world cooperates with various partner institutions (media art festivals, educational institutions and competitions in the youth sector) from the European region in order to invite and bring together young people from different regions for a cultural and artistic exchange.

All of the participants come with individual competencies and expertise to develop and implement a joint project over the period from June to August 2021, which in turn will be presented at the Ars Electronica Festival.

On the occasion of the Ars Electronica Festival 2021, introductory lectures by experts, creative workshops, individual or group work and presentation opportunities were held on the project title *I am (not) a robot – Creative challenge with AIs and humans*, as well as accompanying mentorship. 2021
