My name is Brandi McElhaney and I am a senior at the Legal Studies Academy at First Colonial. I am a member of Virginia Thespian Troupe 3178 and the current technical director for the Patriot Playhouse. Since theatre is definitely a passion of mine, I will be attending Radford University in the fall of 2016 for their technical theatre program.
I am doing my project on Artificial Intelligence, as I have been interested in machine intelligence since I was a child and I watched a movie about a young boy who was dying so his parents decided to create an AI robot of him. The boy survived so the movie represented the struggle the AI faced as he tried to be real. My event will feature main attractions. There will be an AI robot that people can watch and study the actions of, as the app it comes with tells everything the robot is thinking. As well, a game where participants set up an obstacle course and try to trick the robot will be a feature. This event is meant to be fun, as well as informative to show the good, as well as the bad, of AI. |
