The Jury Experience – The Killer AI
The trial explores accountability in our increasingly automated world through a case involving a self-driving vehicle accident. As autonomous transportation advances, this fictional case asks: when artificial intelligence is behind the wheel, who bears responsibility when things go wrong? You’ll evaluate competing claims about technological reliability, human oversight responsibilities, and corporate ethics. The prosecution and defense present conflicting interpretations of the same evidence, forcing jurors to determine which details establish guilt.

The Jury Experience – Death on the Port Side
In The Jury Experience’s fictional case, a late-night speedboat outing among friends ends with one passenger dead, another in a coma, and the powerful politician’s child at the wheel — or so some say. Conflicting accounts blur accident and intent as alcohol, adrenaline, and old loyalties warp memory. Privilege leans on the room; power shifts with every clipped answer and flare of temper. You weigh charm against contradiction, grief against bravado, facts against fog.
