Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly going to transform our daily life, and the resulting changes raise fundamental questions about the nature of humanity and the goals of civilisation. The AI&ART Pavilion is a multidisciplinary initiative trying to reflect this emerging future in an interactive context, a place where scientists, artists and the public can meet and exchange ideas. The AI&ART Pavilion does this by combining Belval’s industrial heritage with the scientific ambitions of the university, while letting individuals find a sense of community in the face of contemporary and forthcoming challenges.

The AI&ART Pavilion consists of four branches:

• Singularity 42! collects initiatives in which artists reflect on the interaction between our physical and digital existence. Scientists and artists provide high-level technical and scientific support for the realisation of art projects, and conversely, artists are involved in designing blueprints for creative engineers whose concepts require the artistic expertise of visual artists.
• The Project Corner(stone) offers playful and interactive initiatives for visitors to experiment, discover and rethink their own beliefs. These small projects can use techniques of symbolic and sub-symbolic AI to create an art product.
• The Magneto project consists of various events that aim to inform and engage the audience in discussions about the role of AI. The events are open to students, general or specialised audiences.
• The AIFA conference is an International conference exploring the growing interactions existing between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and art.
