Siri-ously Funny: Responsible AI Comedy

Siri-ously Funny: the battle for AI - us versus the tech bros

Siri-ously Funny is the follow-up show to Carr Crash which turns its attention to tech bros.

Leslie's subject is Responsible AI, and this show is an attempt to explore it with the public. Tech bros seem determined to boast that their AIs are so powerful that they could destroy the world - just what are they compensating for? The MacGuffin that they are chasing - artificial general intelligence or AGI - made Rishi Sunak set up a Global AI Safety summit at Bletchley Park, calling all the world leaders to Milton Keynes in what can only be described as an austerity remake of Avengers Assemble.

Leslie Carr started lecturing in 1998 and started standup in 2017. He is a confessional storytelling comedian with a warm and engaging stage presence. As a Professor of Web Science, he works regularly with audiences of hundreds of students who have each paid thousands of pounds per year for the unique opportunity to skip his live talks and stream them later on the Internet. He performs standup regularly in London and at comedy venues around the South Coast.
