𝗦𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽 (2022), directed by Nick Sweeney, offers a fascinating look into a unique training camp hosted by the New England Santa Society in New Hampshire, the United States. This camp trains participants to take on the roles of Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, and the elves, while tackling the need for greater diversity in Santa portrayals. The film follows the journeys of three new trainees: a Black Santa, a transgender Santa, and a Santa with a disability. It also delves into the evolving role of Mrs. Claus and the push for equal recognition in public appearances. Premiering at the 2022 Doc NYC Film Festival and later released on HBO Max, 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽 will now light up the big screen in Amsterdam just in time for the holidays.

Datum: Donderdag 17 oktober 2024
Tijd: 18:30- 20:30 uur

De documentaire 𝗘𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗬𝗼𝘂 (reg. Hans Block & Moritz Riesewieck, Verenigde Staten, 2024, 87', trailer) volgt mensen van over de hele wereld die AI gebruiken om avatars van overleden mensen te creëren. Zo kunnen ze nog steeds communiceren met hun geliefden. Christi, bijvoorbeeld, blijft verbonden met haar overleden partner. Ze gebruikt Project December, een online platform dat AI gebruikt om realistische conversaties te simuleren. Dat doorzoekt zijn digitale identiteit (zoals socialemedia- en sms-berichten) om zijn stem beter te kunnen nabootsen. Christi ervaart betekenisvolle gesprekken die haar een gevoel van vrede geven. Stephenie is verheugd om de stem van haar overleden vader te horen dankzij audiomanipulatietools. Rouwende Koreaanse moeder Jang Ji-sung wordt herenigd met haar overleden dochter door de magie van virtual reality. Maar, zoals experts ook bevestigen, deze technologische wonderen kunnen zeer problematisch zijn. Manipuleert dit ‘doodskapitalisme’ emotioneel kwetsbare mensen?

Na de film is er een nagesprek met machine learning specialist 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝘃𝗮𝗻 𝗢𝘀𝗰𝗵 en klinish psycholoog 𝗧𝗶𝗺 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗲𝗻𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 over de achterliggende processen en ethische grenzen van deze AI. Zou jij met je geliefden willen praten na hun dood? Welk effect heeft het tot leven wekken van overledenen via AI? Kunnen we echt en nep nog onderscheiden – en is dat erg? En hoe zit het met de technologie achter en regelgeving rondom AI en mentale gezondheid?

𝗠𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀
𝗧𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝘃𝗮𝗻 𝗢𝘀𝗰𝗵 is specialist in machine learning bij SURF, de Nederlandse ICT-organisatie voor onderwijs en onderzoek. Hij is nauw betrokken bij projecten die machine learning en kunstmatige intelligentie toepassen op grootschalige computersystemen, zoals de ontwikkeling van GPT-NL, de Nederlandse tegenhanger van ChatGPT. Zijn expertise ligt in het combineren van machine learning met high-performance computing infrastructuren om complexe problemen aan te pakken.

𝗧𝗶𝗺 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗲𝗻𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 is Universitair Docent Klinische Psychologie aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam en ACT-therapeut. Hij is gepromoveerd aan de Universiteit van Maastricht en heeft uitgebreid onderzoek gedaan naar verslavingen en gezondheidszorg. Tegenwoordig richt hij zich op mindfulness-gerelateerde therapieën zoals ACT, met een bijzondere focus op het verwerken van emoties via het lichaam, bijvoorbeeld bij verlies en rouw. Hij geeft aan de UvA les aan toekomstige therapeuten en ontwikkelt behandelingen voor stress en slapeloosheid.
