DataCARE Festival 2026 with Inclusive AI Lab

June 2026 – artistic researcher Ulrike Quade and dramaturg-researcher Sorcha Ní Bhraonáin were invited to speak at the Data CARE Festival organised by Inclusive AI Lab.

During this session, critical AI researchers, designers, creative technologists and artist were invited to interrogate dominant narratives, and collectively imagine more humane, plural, and livable AI futures—through dialogue, experimentation, and shared acts of world-building.

The session began with a presentations from Theo Gevers and Sezer Karaoglu, co-founders of 3DUniversum, tech startup based at University of Amsterdam. They described a prototype tool they have built which uses deepfake technology to allow licensed therapists to create a conversation between the patient and otherwise inaccessible people through self-controlled video animations.
