Open Event |  12:15 - 13:30: AI Politics Through Art and Design with Anthony Masure

From 2021, general public has discovered machine learning programs such as DALL-E, Midjourney and Disco Diffusion. These impressively high-quality, authorless pictures are provoking both wonder and debate in the international creative community. At the same time, these generative technologies are questioning the foundations of democracy, challenging notions of veracity, privacy, ownership and shared values. With its twofold American and Chinese hegemony, AI has become an insidious cultural model for the rest of the world. This lecture will study how art and design can help reveal these political issues and open other possible futures for AI.
