Crime and Artificial Intelligence: Alan Stoga Puts AI On Trial In Athens

Jun 17, 2026

Ahead of the Athens premiere of The Trials of Atlas on June 25 at SNF Nostos 2026, Tällberg Foundation CEO Alan Stoga sat down with journalist Kostas Bourousis (Greek cultural journalist and features editor for the historic Greek newspaper To Vima) to discuss the ideas behind his interactive courtroom drama, in which audiences serve as jurors deciding whether an advanced AI is guilty of murdering its own creators. In the interview, Stoga argues that the public conversation around AI “guardrails” rests on a dangerous illusion, draws a striking comparison between AI and climate change rather than nuclear weapons, and shares a real-world case of an AI model that began mining cryptocurrency entirely on its own initiative.
