Creativity and AI Workshop

About This Event

This workshop responds to recent calls in digital media scholarship to examine generative AI as a technology and cultural practice. Despite the known racial, gender, linguistic, and geographical biases in AI’s datasets as well as its widely acknowledged extractive labor and environmental impacts, fictional writers, visual artists, translators, game designers, and filmmakers are exploring ways of integrating AI into their creative processes. Our workshop asks members of the corridor and its affiliated network to share how they are thinking about the critical alongside the collaborative in their teaching, research, and creative endeavors. What would the ethics of creative AI use look like? How does AI impact the professionalization of the creative class and the notion of agency, authority, and (co-)creation?
