What would Albert Einstein think if he could glimpse the quantum world he so often discussed today? At the opening of the 2025 City and Science Biennial, el Círculo de Bellas Artes The Biennial will host an unusual event: a live, public conversation between an AI-programmed avatar and a physicist specializing in quantum theory. The Einstein avatar, developed by the Q-Math research group at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences (ICMAT) and Carlos III University, will engage in dialogue with physicist María García Díaz (UPM) about the paradoxes, tensions, and achievements of quantum theory. The conversation will be moderated by Carlos Sabín, curator of the Biennial. This provocative encounter between science, history, and technology revives one of the most fascinating controversies of the 20th century: would Einstein have renounced his famous "God does not play dice"? Or would he have continued to doubt a theory that underpins the most advanced technological revolution of our time? A conversation between past and future, between science and philosophy, between the human and the artificial.
