Description: In this presentation, Ola Bonati will discuss findings from the report Generative AI in Academic Research across Social Sciences and Humanities...

How ancestral wisdom passed down through generations can shape the future of artificial intelligence? And how to create technologies that honor and integrate different temporal perspectives? If we consider ourselves as the first generation with such technological power in our hands, what kind of ancestors of the future will we be? ​Ancestral AI posits a transformative approach to technology, advocating for an integration of time-honored wisdom with modern AI development. By embracing the deep insights of our ancestors, this initiative aims to steer the evolution of technology toward a more sustainable and harmonious future, ensuring that advancements are not only technically sound but also ethically grounded. ​This webinar is tailored for AI professionals, researchers, cultural theorists, and anyone interested in how technology intersects with ethical, social, and cultural dimensions. To learn more about how ancient wisdom can revolutionize technological advancements and to hear firsthand from our esteemed speakers about their innovative approaches to AI, make sure to register. ​🐚 ANCESTRAL AI w/ GUSTAVO: How AI affect our relationship with time? ​Gustavo Nogueira de Menezes is a Brazilian researcher specializing in temporalities, the narratives, and systems that influence our perception of time. Based in Amsterdam, he leads Torus Company and Temporality Lab, focusing on multiple temporalities from a decolonial perspective with a transdisciplinary global community. His research covers topics like social change, ancestrality, speculative design, and decoloniality, providing insight into time's impact on human experience and inspiring a rethinking of our relationship with time. As Research Lead for Ancestral AI, Gustavo highlights that in the realm of technology, especially in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence, invoking the concept of ancestrality means proposing a framework that is deeply informed by these time-tested insights and values. ​​🧚 GUEST: MONIQUE LEMOS: How AI is Killing Black People Monique is the author of the ongoing work "HOW AI IS KILLING BLACK IMAGINARIES: updates on the concept of Necropolitics and tools for an anti-racist data learning future". A creative approach to mitigate some damage of racism by creating anti-racist awareness and imagining radical Black futures. ​​🧚‍♂️ GUEST: THIAGO BRITTO: The Preservation of Black Memories ​Thiago focuses on creating contemporary images using artificial intelligence. He seeks to apply these new technologies in socially relevant ways, aiming to contribute to a better preservation of black memory in Brazil. ABOUT SLOW AI PROJECT ​​​In this project, we will interrogate and publish critical AI discourse in a format that makes sense to us and our practices, namely zines and creative technology installations. Inspired by the counter-movements of slow fashion and slow food, this project will investigate three emerging AI counter-narratives –Small AI 🐜, Ancestral AI 🐚, and Esoteric AI 🔮 – and explore what it might look like to incorporate them in our everyday practice. ​​​At project end we will publish an anthology – a hot compost pile of miro boards, zines, and art that we hope sparks new ways to think and talk about AI. ​​​Follow this page to stay up-to-date on Slow AI. Slow AI is made possible by Stimuleringsfonds ​ABOUT AIxDESIGN ​​​AIxDESIGN is a global community of designers, researchers, creative technologists, and activists using AI in pursuit of creativity, justice and joy and living lab exploring participatory, slow, and more-than-corporate AI.

Is this the world's first AI-generated documentary? Alan Warburton was commissioned by the ODI's Data as Culture programme to bring us 'The Wizard of AI,' a 20-minute video essay about the cultural impacts of generative AI. It was produced over three weeks at the end of October 2023, one year after the release of the infamous Midjourney v4, which the artist treats as "gamechanger" for visual cultures and creative economies. According to the artist, the video itself is "99% AI" and was produced using generative AI tools like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Runway and Pika. Yet the artist is careful to temper the hype of these new tools, or as he says, to give in to the "wonder-panic" brought about by generative AI. Using creative workflows unthinkable before October 2023, he takes us on a colourful journey behind the curtain of AI - through Oz, pink slime, Kanye's 'Futch' and a deep sea dredge - to explain and critique the legal, aesthetic and ethical problems engendered by AI-automated platforms. Most importantly, he focusses on the real impacts this disruptive wave of technology continues to have on artists and designers around the world.
