- 16:27Can AI Understand Why Humans Play? | Arjun Mehra Balasree V | TEDxBangalorePlay is not just fun and games. It is inherently human. But will AI understand? What if AI labeled play an "error"?In this unique TEDx talk, Arjun Mehra and Balasree Viswanathan use improv theatre to explore an emerging fundamental question: can artificial intelligence ever truly understand what makes us human?Through an improvised journey set in 2125, they imagine a world where play has been deemed "unproductive" by AI systems.
