This program is curated by Jacqueline Gasser-Beck, President of the St. Gallen City Parliament. On three evenings in March, she invites you to watch remarkable films: from Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ to the documentary ‘Eternal You’, which will be released in 2024.
After the screening, the evening becomes interactive. Jaqueline Gasser-Beck will discuss with experts in the field whether AI fiction has long since become reality, how far we are willing to go with it and where we want to consciously set limits.
