| 252-5053-00L | What Kind of AI Do We Want? Bringing Artistic and Technological Practices Together  | 2 credits | 3S | N. Gräfin von Reischach, A. C. Notz | |
| Abstract | In this seminar we look at "artificial intelligence" (AI) as a historical-material practice. That is, we understand AI as shaped by the concrete conditions of its development and use. We will address the current discourse within our democratically shaped society around trustworthy AI and look at decolonial and indigenous approaches to AI. | ||||
| Learning objective | The students get to know a completely new field (art ←→ computer science). They have tested how inspiring interdisciplinary collaboration can be and applied their newly acquired knowledge by designing a practice-oriented project/ AI+Art prototype in mixed groups. In addition, they take away with them the social contribution that can be made with ML. | ||||
| Content | The seminar consists of presentations (lectures) covering the topics listed below. The presentations will be discussed in depth and key publications from computer science and art/theory will be read and discussed. Experts from the various fields and artists will be invited and selected works of art will be discussed.
