The public are invited to explore Artificial Intelligence as part of European Researchers’ Night
Dive into the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) at a pop-up event, ‘Explore AI’, taking place as part of European Researchers’ Night on 27 September at Trinity College Dublin. Run by the ADAPT Centre for AI-Driven Digital Content Technology, researchers will offer lively discussions, thought-provoking interactions, and cutting-edge AI research demos on the transformative impact of AI. The pop-up exhibition forms part of Trinity’s START (Start Talking About Research Today) event to celebrate European Researchers Night.
From 4-8 pm, the Douglas Hyde Gallery in Trinity will be transformed into a dynamic space where AI meets creativity, health, and entertainment. The event will also include Irish Sign Language (ISL) interpreting. All ages will be catered for and visitors will be invited to contribute to live research experiments and discussions taking place. The event allows researchers to showcase their work to the public using interactive and engaging techniques. Access to the exhibition is free of charge. Register.

Art or AI? Museum of Very Modern Art
Can you tell a human masterpiece from an AI-generated one? In this thought-provoking exhibit, AI art tools like DALL-E and Midjourney will test your ability to discern machine-made creations from the works of legendary artists.
From virtual to reality… and back!
What happens to your body when you trick your mind into thinking you’re moving while sitting still and wearing a VR visor? Immerse yourself in this incredible experience and feel the shift as you embody a virtual avatar in a simulated world. As your senses adjust, explore different body types, skin colors, and actions that will leave you questioning the boundaries between the physical and virtual. It’s an unmissable chance to experience how your mind and body respond to virtual environments.
AI Dilemma Cafe
Grab a coffee and join in thought-provoking discussions about how AI shapes our everyday lives. What are the benefits, the challenges, and the ethical dilemmas? It’s the café chat you never knew you needed.
Throughout the evening, there will also be pop-up talks and interactive exhibits on ADAPT’s latest research, offering a rare chance to see the future of AI up close.
Entrance is free and open to the public. Save the date and register to join us on the 27th of September from 4-8pm. Register now!
