The Jury Experience in Hartford: What trial is on and what is it about?
Death by AI: Who Pays the Price?
A self-driving vehicle is at the center of a gripping courtroom drama, raising urgent questions about artificial intelligence and accountability. As a juror, you’ll weigh conflicting testimonies and digital evidence to determine who, if anyone, is responsible when technology goes awry. The stakes are high—your verdict could set a precedent for the future of automation and justice.
What is “The Jury Experience”?
The Jury Experience is a 75-minute immersive courtroom drama that puts you in the juror’s seat, where you weigh evidence, question motives, and ultimately cast the deciding vote. Every performance unfolds differently, shaped by the audience’s choices, so no two trials are the same. One evening you might confront the fallout of a self-driving car accident, parsing responsibility between programmers, manufacturers, and AI; another, you could be entangled in a pharmaceutical cover-up where corporate power collides with public safety. Each scenario underscores the messy, unpredictable nature of justice, where truth is elusive and verdicts carry real weight.
