Kruissingel, 9712 XN GroningenA traveling showman enchants the audience with his wondrous scientific collection. But when doubt sets in, questions arise about the reliability of science. Can doubt be overcome, or does it merely open new paths of uncertainty? Discover this and more in the Dubious Spectacle by theater duo Sjors & Ruud.
What role does doubt play?
Professor of Artificial Intelligence Niels Taatgen joins to explain the role doubt plays in his work. He designs smart materials based on the biology of the brain: tiny particles with the ability to think and learn independently. A chip based on this technology would be powerful enough to surpass hundreds, or even thousands, of generations of computers at once. How would this change our world? Come and join us in doubting!
