ESRC Festival of Social Science 2026

AI is already making decisions about your money. Do you know which ones?

Follow the White Rabbit into Financial Wonderland, where AI advises, decides — and sometimes gets it wrong.

Make your choices. Compare your answers. Join the conversation.

A playful, interactive game about AI and everyday money for all ages.

What's it about?

Step into the shoes of a household member and navigate real-life money decisions, from education and budgeting to mortgages, pensions and fraud prevention. Along the way, discover how AI influences the choices we make, uncover what happens behind the scenes, and explore both the opportunities and risks of automated decision-making. Designed for families and curious minds of all ages, this immersive experience combines fun, discussion and cutting-edge research to help you better understand the growing role of AI in everyday financial life.
