Please note: unlike previous courses, this entirely class will be done async. You will get access to a Slack channel and weekly recordings. It's a great option for anyone across the globe.Algorithmic Filmmaking is a course for filmmakers, creative coders, and anyone else interested in tools for non-traditional editing and filmmaking. Every week you’ll receive 2 hours of recorded tutorials and discussions to help you create films using machine learning, algorithms and other cutting-edge tools. You’ll also receive supplemental lectures, films to watch, and other materials.Wondering the kind of things you’ll learn? Check out this overview of my project Scream Scenes. We’ll cover these techniques and much more.Prerequisitesknowledge of coding principles is very helpful, but not requiredaccess to a Windows, Mac, or Linux machine that can run Zoomexperience or familiarity with command line is very helpufl, and comfort reading code (any code will be provided to you)Access to free version of Google Colab and Google Drive Example syllabus (subject to change)Week 1 How to create a database of video clipsWeek 2 Categorizing shot typesWeek 3 Algorithmic fancamsWeek 4 Matchcuts and other uses of OpenposeWeek 5 Algorithmic sequencing Week 6 Audioreactive and other guidance techniquesWeek 7 Free Space/TBDTBD Student Demo DaySchedule and StructureThis course will be run asynchronously. Every week you’ll receive 2 hours of recorded tutorials and discussions. In addition to the seven 2-hour recordings, there will be two open 1hr sessions with Derrick every week to answer questions and get help on projects. We will be using Slack for asynchronous messaging and discussion. Additional materials outside of the lectures and demos will be provided as video links, webpages or PDFs.About the instructorsDerrick Schultz is a designer, filmmaker and artist working with machine learning. His work has been featured at machine learning conference CVPR and NeurIPS, and has been commissioned by the New York Times, HP, and Acne.

This year Google Creative Lab is inviting multidisciplinary creatives to apply for a paid gig (£300 per day) and collaboration up to 12 months at Google Creative Lab, London. As a Fiver you will work on projects big, small and first of their kind within Google. You will be paired with a mentor and work closely with other creatives. A Fiver is an essential part of Google Creative Lab and it’s the way a lot of our current leaders started.

This paper explores the important role of critical science, and in particular of post-colonial and decolonial theories, in understanding and shaping the ongoing advances in artificial intelligence. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is viewed as amongst the technological advances that will reshape modern societies and their relations. Whilst the design and deployment of systems that continually adapt holds the promise of far-reaching positive change, they simultaneously pose significant risks, especially to already vulnerable peoples. Values and power are central to this discussion. Decolonial theories use historical hindsight to explain patterns of power that shape our intellectual, political, economic, and social world. By embedding a decolonial critical approach within its technical practice, AI communities can develop foresight and tactics that can better align research and technology development with established ethical principles, centring vulnerable peoples who continue to bear the brunt of negative impacts of innovation and scientific progress. We highlight problematic applications that are instances of coloniality, and using a decolonial lens, submit three tactics that can form a decolonial field of artificial intelligence: creating a critical technical practice of AI, seeking reverse tutelage and reverse pedagogies, and the renewal of affective and political communities. The years ahead will usher in a wave of new scientific breakthroughs and technologies driven by AI research, making it incumbent upon AI communities to strengthen the social contract through ethical foresight and the multiplicity of intellectual perspectives available to us; ultimately supporting future technologies that enable greater well-being, with the goal of beneficence and justice for all.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the world as we know it, implying that it is up to the current generation to use the technology for ''good.'' We argue that making good use of AI constitutes aligning it with the wellbeing of conscious creatures. However, designing wellbeing-aligned AI systems is difficult. In this article, we investigate a total of twelve challenges that can be categorized as related to a lack of knowledge (how to contextualize, operationalize, optimize, and design AI for wellbeing), and lack of motivation (designing AI for wellbeing is seen as risky and unrewarding). Our discussion can be summarized into three key takeaways: 1) our understanding of the impact of systems on wellbeing should be advanced, 2) systems should be designed to promote and sustain wellbeing intentionally, and 3), above all, Positive AI starts with believing that we can change the world for the better and that it is profitable.
