How can we assert agency in designing spaces and practices where creative processes, AI thinking, and human-centered design are supported and can coexist?
We are looking for applicants who want to explore the ethical use of AI and/or its creative applications. Here are some of the directions that might be developed:
– Transparency, Consent, and Privacy (i.e., models that are trained on artists’ work without their consent and lack of clarity around intellectual property)
– Bias/Prejudice (included in models’ predictions)
– Explore alternatives of “Western” rationalist-instrumentalist-individualist frameworks and approaches towards AI development (e.g., decolonial approaches or indigenous approaches)
– Ecological Impacts (sustainability, energy for training models, resources for hardware as well as the rebound effect of this technology)
– Economic and Labour Concerns (exacerbation of income inequality, job displacement, collecting data for AI models using gig workers, worker exclusion in the tech sector)
– Equity and Accessibility (of AI tools for underrepresented groups)
Artists and collectives in all stages of their careers are invited to apply.
More details about our intentions and the selection criteria can be found here.
