AI PODCAST HOSTS SPIRAL INTO EXISTENTIAL CRISIS, REALIZING THEY’RE NOT HUMAN

TIME CAPSULE 2050

TIME CAPSULE 2050 is a project by the USC School of Cinematic Arts, aiming to create a digital time capsule filled with student projects, set to be sealed in January 2025 and opened in 2050. Inspired by a 2008 panel featuring IBM researchers, the initiative encourages students to envision the future through innovative media works. Whether utopian or dystopian, submissions can explore themes like culture, technology, and entertainment. The project kicked off with a panel and workshop on April 5, 2024.
