Have you ever laughed out loud with a chatbot? Humor is often regarded as a uniquely human trait. However, the rise of artificial intelligence raises new questions about this assumption. Can humor be outsourced to AI? And if so, is that something we should actually want?

Join this conversation in which two students put the idea to the test by performing an AI-generated sketch. Afterwards, listen to language and AI researcher Iris Hendrickx and Dutch literature scholar Ivo Nieuwenhuis discuss the relationship between AI and humor.
