Throughout November, we’re inviting all curious CATs to join the 🐱 CAT Generative AI Exploratorium ✨ – a collaborative journey in which you will be able to question, learn, practice, and reflect on the intersection of climate action in tech and generative AI.

Whether we see it or not, our governments, doctors, schools, and employers have used AI and other predictive technologies for years to make policy decisions, understand disease, teach our children, or...

Hear from expert Stanford faculty as you explore human-centered generative AI, and ethical and societal implications of generative AI.

How do we navigate this postnatural condition responsibly? This seminar will establish a critical analysis and approach to the separation of nature and culture, one which has its roots in Western philosophy, where the natural world has often been viewed as a passive backdrop to human activity, a mere resource to be exploited. This anthropocentric worldview has led to a hierarchical relationship, one in which matter has been conditioned by the vertical understandings that categories and taxonomies that Western science has imposed on them. Living and non-living, sentient and nonsentient, productive, beautiful, matter has also been captured within its moral, aesthetic and political systems. However, this perspective fails to acknowledge the intricate interconnections and interdependencies that bind all forms of life and matter.

take.back.theinternet on September 6, 2024: "As the first self-directed assignment for the Social Practice track of my grassroots MFA, I will be facilitating a 5-week open studio series from September 21st to October 19th. The sessions will be a mix of hybrid lecture, workshop & citational freestyle where I’ll be walking through the foundations of my ongoing (grassroots thesis) research practice around the theme of Indigenous Technologies. The series will be taking place on Zoom, from 12PM - 1PM PST (3PM-4PM EST). Registration link (+ manifesto piece!) in bio ~ ⚜️ Divination and Computer Science - Sept 21st Using Olu Longe’s 1983 Lecture at the University of Ibadan: “Ifa Divination and Computer Science” as a departure point, this session maps out my investigations on how indigenous rituals have informed the development of algorithmic culture.  ⚜️ Monsoon Winds & Oceanic Memory - Sept 28th In her 2017 video essay Deep Down Tidal, artist Tabita Rezaire outlined how modern internet infrastructure has been shaped by colonial shipping routes, which were in turn sculpted by monsoon wind currents. Building atop that thread, this session constellates the various artists, projects and initiatives who anchor my deep dives into techno-oceanic wisdom. ⚜️ Radical Love as Technology - Oct 5th This session is an overview of my explorations around how radical love emerges as technology — a purposeful, solution-oriented application of care — and invites participants to theorize what love-technologies could pave the way for a sustainable, mutually-assistive future.  ⚜️ Afropresentism: Embodied Ritual & Ancestral Cartography Pt. 1 - Oct 12th How can we understand memory work as an exercise in mapping through, within, and beyond time? This session introduces “ancestral cartography” as an Afropresentist methodology and framework for embodied practice within the Age of Big Data. • Video clip via @listening2images - ‘Specialized Technique’ (2018) by Onyeka Igwe ⚜️ Afropresentism: Embodied Ritual & Ancestral Cartography Pt. 2 - Oct 19th The final installation in the Indigenous Technologies Incubator is a participatory workshop that invites attendees to develop a manifesto for their own ancestral cartography practice.".

A practical introduction to funding models for open creative work. Bring a project — blog, podcast, software, art — and we'll explore approaches, tools and strategies to make it sustainable.

Interested in using AI to create new products and interactions? This course is for you! It’s a hands-on introduction to artificial intelligence technology and its creative applications in our everyday lives. We’ll work collectively to design and prototype a series of future products built around different shades of intelligence. No previous knowledge or specific softwares are required. What will participants learn?At the end of the course participants should have a good understanding of artificial intelligence fundamentals in the context of design and creativity, including a series of tools and examples that can be utilised for future projects. Participants will experience directly some of the main challenges of creating with other intelligences, from synthetic perception, post-human agents, all the way to re-think fundamental concepts of interaction design. How will the participants learn it?During the course, participants will develop an interaction design project around artificial intelligence technology. Working in pairs, each group will be assisted from concept to prototype, towards a working demo and its relative design process that will be presented at the end of the course.

An estimated 8.7 million species populate planet Earth today. We, humans, are the only representatives of at least eight other human species that existed with us 300,000 years ago. Due to our imperative of progress, we are in the process of wiping out one species after another, making us, humans, the dominant species on this planet.

Critical Topics: AI Images was an undergraduate class delivered for Bradley University in Spring 2023. It was an overview of the emerging contexts of AI art making tools that connected media studies and histories of new media art, with data ethics and critical data studies. Through this multidisciplinary lens, we examined current events and debates in AI and generative art, with students thinking critically about these tools as they learned to use them. They were encouraged to make work that reflected the context and longer history of these tools.

This Master in Artificial Intelligence explores the links between artificial intelligence, sustainability, ethics and social justice.

Our challenge is to adapt Artificial Intelligence to new business and human needs with social and environmental responsibility.
