From April 24 to 27, 2019, I was invited to the An[O]ther {AI} in Art Summit 2019 @New Museum in NY.
my lighting talk entitled “People’s Engagement: Key to Understanding AI’s Social Impact”
I enjoyed giving my lighting talk entitled “People’s Engagement: Key to Understanding AI’s Social Impact” to these great participants who are AI and Art professionals.
We have been discussing AI and the future of Art in terms of Aesthetics, Authorship, Audience Engagement, Pedagogies and Funding. I hope the important conversations we had and the conclusions we drew throughout this 4-day summit both formally and informally will be made public soon and we can keep discussing how to create a better AI society together after the summit!
Many Thanks to Amir Baradaran, Founder and Lead Organizer of An[O]ther {AI} in Art and Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Sciences for your kind invitation!
