In short What to expect

Step into an immersive courtroom trial. As members of the jury, the power to deliver justice rests entirely in your hands. Debate the case, question the motives and cast your votes throughout the show. Decide who walks free... and who pays the price. This is jury duty like you've never experienced it before.

Program The Killer AI

  • A driverless car has taken a life and someone must answer for it. The programmer who wrote the code, the passenger who trusted the machine, or the AI that made the call? There is no precedent. There is no roadmap. There is no easy answer.
