Immersive, Interactive Exhibit, A.I. VERSUS HUMANITY launches at and in partnership with London Design Biennale for A.I. thought-leadership Forum at Somerset House - Seite 2

Bringing together over 45 exhibition teams from across the world, London Design Biennale, now open at Somerset House, demonstrates the ability of design to bring people together and enact change. Exhibitors have tackled a range of pressing global issues, including conversations around the future of AI. "We are so pleased to host John Mack, who will discuss these important questions and what they mean for our own humanity." -Victoria Broakes. Adds Mack: "Life Calling has shown up to London Design Biennale with a twist on how we think of design. Our inner design is what shapes all outer design. You can't separate the design from the designer, the creation from the creator. So the question is, Given the rise of AI, how can we position ourselves deeper in our humanity in order to ensure that our designs of the future support human thriving rather than undermine it?"

"As artificial intelligence becomes entangled with society and billions of lives around the globe," says Tristan Harris, Co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology, "it is absolutely essential that we call on a collective of organizations to collaborate in bold and innovative ways to increase awareness on AI issues. We must meet this moment in rallying the general population to unite around both the challenges and opportunities AI is posing for humanity. John Mack's nonprofit, Life Calling, is entering the field as a leader and convener on this front, and we are delighted to be partners in this movement." - Tristan Harris, Co-founder, Center for Humane Technology Director, London Design Biennale.

Founded only in 2001 by Mack, Life Calling has emerged as a leading convener for the empowerment of humanity vis a vis the increasing rise of digital dependence. Its signature programme, A Species Between Worlds: Our Nature, Our Screens, is currently housed in the USA Pavilion of London Design Biennale for the month of June. A Species Between Worlds is an immersive art experience and awareness-raising forum which debuted in NYC in September 2022, supported in part by Bloomberg Philanthropies and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. Visitors to a boutique version of the installation at London Design Biennale can be immersed in various worlds, where Mack's real-world images from over 45 US National Parks are juxtaposed with a custom augmented reality (AR) app, exploring who we are in relation to our environment in light of the encroaching digital landscape.
