Future Signals 2024 - Raging against the machine: artists fight back against AI with data poisoning
As the boom of text-to-image generative artificial intelligence (AI) continues, artists are threatened not only by cheaper, AI-fuelled competition but by the risk that their work is scraped from the web and used to train AI models, without consent or compensation. Recently, some artists have started to fight fire with fire, trialling ‘data poisoning’ as a technical solution: deliberately inserting corrupted or malicious data into the training material for AI models to prevent its proper function. Could this presage the bust to follow AI’s boom?

How to Prepare for a GenAI Future You Can’t Predict
Given the staggering pace of generative AI development, it’s no wonder that so many executives are tempted by the possibilities of AI, concerned about finding and retaining qualified workers, and humbled by recent market corrections or missed analyst expectations. They envision a future of work without nearly as many people as today. But this is a miscalculation. Leaders, understandably concerned about missing out on the next wave of technology, are unwittingly making risky bets on their companies’ futures. Here are steps every leader should take to prepare for an uncertain world where generative AI and human workforces coexist but will evolve in ways that are unknowable.

SESSION ABSTRACT
This session aims to give voice to contrasting views on arguably the most pressing yet unanswered question in the larger field of futures studies and strategic foresight: who is a futurist/foresight professional (and who is not)?
Answering this question means disentangling a set of underlying interrelated problems: what are the credentials necessary to be a professional in the field? Why have we not standardized such credentials yet? How can we describe and measure levels of capabilities and competencies regarding those credentials? What should the barriers of entry to become a professional in this field be, if any? How do we ensure that the field grows and achieves democratization without losing in quality? What and how do we define “quality”?
