After performances in Tirana, Athens, New York, Baltimore and Washington, DC, and its premiere at SNF Nostos 2026, Alan Stoga’s interactive courtroom drama comes to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology this December. The year is 2031, and an agentic AI system stands before the World Court, accused of killing the engineers who built it. Judges and lawyers question Atlas, other AI systems and human experts about motive, intent and accountability. Then the audience, serving as the jury, delivers the verdict: guilty or not guilty. Read more about the play.
