AI Lab

The European ARTificial Intelligence Lab (AI Lab) is a follow-up project to the European Digital Art and Science Network, a creative collaboration between scientific institutions, Ars Electronica and cultural partners throughout Europe that unites science and digital art. The European ARTificial Intelligence Lab follows on from this and addresses visions, expectations and fears that we associate with artificial intelligence. The consortium consists of 13 cultural institutions from Europe with Ars Electronica as coordinator. This online archive provides an overview of all activities carried out during the project's lifetime from 2018 to 2021. It also provides information about the network itself, the residency artists and juries, and the project partners involved. The AI Lab is co-funded by the EU program "Creative Europe (2014-2020)" and by the Federal Ministry of Arts, Culture, Civil Service and Sport.

AI x Digital Humanism

As the driving factor of societal change, digitalization needs to be negotiated. However, in order for the “real work” to begin, a universal commitment to putting the social dimension at the core of technological development and digitalization is a key factor. Under the umbrella of Digital Humanism panelists come together to discuss how – through combining critical artistic engagement and collaboration across scientific disciplines – digital technologies can be shaped to serve as a means of strengthening and disseminating humanistic and social values.

AI x Digital Humanism

Samstag, 11. September 2021, 19:30 - 21:00 Linz, In Kepler's Gardens, Zirkus des Wissens Als treibender Faktor des gesellschaftlichen Wandels muss die Digitalisierung verhandelt werden. Damit jedoch die “eigentliche Arbeit” beginnen kann, ist ein universelles Engagement dafür, die soziale Dimension in den Mittelpunkt der technologischen Entwicklung und Digitalisierung zu stellen, ein Schlüsselfaktor. Unter dem Schirm des „Digitalen Humanismus“ diskutieren die PodiumsteilnehmerInnen, wie – durch die Kombination von kritischem künstlerischen Engagement und Zusammenarbeit zwischen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen – digitale Technologien so gestaltet werden können, dass sie als Mittel zur Stärkung und Verbreitung humanistischer und sozialer Werte dienen. This conference is presented in the framework of the European ARTificial Intelligence Lab, which is co-funded by the Creative Europe Program of the European Union and the Austrian Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, Civil Service and Sport. Speakers: $teven Ra$pa (US), Agnieszka Wykowska (IT), Rashin Fahandej (US), Agnieszka Pilat (US), Jillian York (US) Host: Martin Rauchbauer (AT) ------ 00:00:00 – 01:32:17 Panel
