Presenting "A Song All About AI" at the Pop-Up Store ("Innovationshauptplatz") in the Main Square in Linz!

May 21 to May 31, 2024

Whether we like it or not, Artificial Intelligence (AI) impacts all of us! Although AI is becoming increasingly far-reaching and promising, we believe it is extremely important that as many people as possible acquire a basic understanding of AI. We refer to this as “AI literacy”. But just how do we do that?


TThe LIT Robopsychology Lab conducted research into this topic and collaborated with 20 citizen scientists, AI experts and artists. As part of a participative project, we explored the questions that come up daily regarding artificial intelligence (AI) and how we could respond creatively. The result is a song in partnershíp with a local musician, Blonder Engel, titled "A Song All About AI", available in Austrian dialect, High German, and in English.

Can a song make artificial intelligence more comprehensible? While a single song cannot explain it to everyone, address all of the questions, or provide explanations on a complex topic like AI, it can, however, encourage more people to simply think about it, share ideas, and continue to engage with it. That is why we continued our research and asked for opinions, comments, observations, insight, and ideas. 

We want to facilitate more conversation on the topic of Artificial Intelligence, and support AI literacy. 

Pop-Up Store

Pop-Up Store Hours: Tuesday, May 21, to Friday, May 31, 2024, Monday-Friday, 10:00 AM-6:00 PM )closed on weekends, open on the Maxy 30 public holiday).


Our team members were present and met interested citizens at the pop-up store of Innovationshauptplatz in the center of Linz and on the corner of the Main Square/Pfarrgasse (right next to Stadtoase). We asked the following questions and many more: Can a song explain what artificial intelligence is all about? In which areas can you beat AI? What are your most pressing questions about AI?
