Artificial Intelligence, No Longer Sci-Fi

Abstract

Now that AI is no longer science fiction, how might embracing it, whilst recognising its limitations and ethical implications, enable new kinds of creative expression by artists and designers concerned with ethics, justice and sustainability? Futurist artist/designer/ engineer Sophia Brueckner shares her thoughts on why artists and designers are necessary to critique and shape the future of AI, and why the reasons to question its use are the very same reasons why artists and designers should engage with it.
