Pinok.io, or what machines feel

The action of the play “PINOK.IO” takes place in the near future. The eponymous Pinok.io is not a wooden puppet, but the first artificial intelligence to gain consciousness. From Gepett, his constructor, he receives the body of a robot, thanks to which he can explore the world and go on a quest for adventure. The dream of our hero is no longer to become a man, a real boy, but to understand who he really is and how he is supposed to function in the world of people and machines.

The play, in an attractive and understandable way for the child, addresses issues such as: the development of artificial intelligence, the struggle for equal rights, the creation of responsible technologies. The intention of the producers of the show is to raise awareness of the dangers of the cyberworld and to encourage them to ask questions about the direction in which we want to move as humanity.

We would like to thank the scientific circles operating at the I. Łukasiewicz University of Technology: the Student Scientific Circle of Rapid Prototyping and Industrial Design and the Rzeszów IT Group for their cooperation in the realization of the show and preparation of the robot show.
