				Beta is a new festival of art and technology critically engaging with the impact of emerging technologies on society. Taking Ireland’s role as a central node in today's wired world as a starting point, Beta showcases and celebrates Ireland’s research and artistic communities through a combination of creativity, debate and experimentation. Beta allows members of the public to engage playfully and critically with new technologies essentially beta testing ethical issues facing society
			</p>
			<p>
				The 2024 edition of Beta will explore a range of themes relating to AI, Automated Systems, and the politics of resistance in an algorithmic age. Through a programme of exhibitions, workshops and talks, the festival will interrogate what kinds of powers reside in technology.
			</p>
			<p>
				The festival is co-founded by The Digital Hub and supported by Science Week with additional support for the 2024 programme from the French Embassy, Institut français, British Council, Smart Dublin, Screen Ireland, Arts Council Festival Investment Scheme and Goethe-Institut.
