    Fifty years ago the computer became personal, changing who got to compute. The same threshold has arrived for AI. In this session, composer and transmedia artist Gadi Sassoon proposes a paradigm for what comes next, the Personal Construct, the new “PC”, and showcases it live on stage.

    The Construct is not a model or an app. It is a swarm of AI agents that perceive, reason, and act under one human author, running on your hardware, your subscriptions, your APIs: model-agnostic, built to amplify intent, skills, cognition and creativity. The choice is yours: it’s a system anyone can clone, adapt, and run for any task.

    This project was born at AI for Good, evolving from the agent stack built for Sassoon’s 2025 main stage closing performance, designed to read musical gestures and return them as light, sound, robotics and data: emotion and behaviour amplified, not harvested. As the electric guitar amplifies a string through electricity, the Personal Construct is the amplifier of human intent, the opposite of an extractive and manipulative system. Sassoon will perform the architecture, agents, and code live, present the Personal Construct’s roadmap to the room and open the floor for a brief Q&A.
