As a new show co-created by an AI performer opens in France, industry leaders including Wayne McGregor, Tamara Rojo and Jonzi D contemplate the technology\u2019s possibilities and perils<\/p>\n

\u2018I think AI\u2019s going to change everything,\u201d Tamara Rojo<\/a>, artistic director of San Francisco Ballet, told me earlier this year. \u201cWe just don\u2019t know quite how.\u201d The impact of artificial intelligence on the creative industries can already be seen across film, television and music, but to some extent dance seems insulated, as a form that so much relies on live bodies performing in front of an audience. But this week choreographers Aoi Nakamura and Esteban Lecoq, collectively known as A\u03a6E<\/a>, are launching what is billed as the world\u2019s first AI-driven dance production, Lilith.Aeon. Lilith, the performer, is an AI entity, who has co-created the work, with Nakamura and Lecoq. \u201cShe\u201d will appear on an LED cube that the audience move around, their motion triggering Lilith\u2019s dance.<\/p>\n

Nakamura and Lecoq insist they\u2019re interested not in chasing the latest technology for its own sake but in enhancing their storytelling. Working as dancers with theatre company Punchdrunk turned them on to the idea of immersive experiences, which led to virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and now AI. Their question is always: \u201cHow can we make this tech come alive?\u201d But not in a robots-taking-over-the-world way.<\/p>\n
