WHAT’S ON: PAL: Your AI Care Companion on the CITZ

This Spring will see the Residents Theatre Younger Co. return to the stage with the world premiere of a daring new manufacturing. Set in a dystopian near-future Glasgow, PAL: Your AI Care Companion explores a future the place the NHS has change into a totally automated, run-for-profit enterprise dominated by the “persona” of an autonomous AI.

Set in a dystopian world the place pure sources are operating out, protest is criminalised, and self-surgery has change into the norm, we meet characters who push again towards the boundaries of this harmful future. Maybe a PAL isn’t what we want, however is there a approach again?

Written by acclaimed playwright Sara Shaarawi, with enter from members of the Citz Younger Co, PAL: Your AI Care Companion is a well timed and darkly humorous piece of latest writing. Taking inspiration from speculative fiction like Black Mirror and Tales From the Loop, it tackles themes just like the runaway risks of AI, surveillance tradition, and the oppressive nature of know-how when taken into the flawed palms.
