Regaining Power over AI: Dialogue with Stephanie Dinkins

How can artists reclaim power over AI?

AI technologies are becoming more powerful at the same time as they are becoming more widespread and accessible. Their role in creative and cultural sectors, in turn, has become increasingly complex. On one hand, AI tools open new creative possibilities; on the other hand, the way they are built and deployed brings a range of potential harms, from economic impact on artistic labor to copyright violations. The intrusion of AI into the mainstream artistic sphere forces us to confront our vision of creativity itself. In these salons, we bring together artists, researchers, and technologists to discuss the shifting role of AI in creative practices and communities and explore how we can shape the development of AI and change the dominant narratives about AI in the arts to enable a future in which artists can flourish.

This second event will be with Stephanie Dinkins, artist It will take place on December 2, at 7pm CET, online.

This salon is organized as part of the ISIR Culture Lab at the Institute for Intelligent Systems and Robotics (ISIR) of Sorbonne Université, by Baptiste Caramiaux, Vera Liao, Gonzalo Ramos, Jenny Williams, Kate Crawford. It is supported by the French Centre For Scientific Research (CNRS), ISIR, and Sorbonne Université.
