Being Human: AI Design from brian kane on Vimeo.
Design and discover what AI is and can be, and pose fundamental new questions regarding the social, ethical, artistic, and technological boundaries of a world where humans co-exist with intelligent machines.
Hands on workshop building and simulating intelligent artifacts and interactions with people to discover, explore, and push the boundaries of human/machine relationships. Students will research the history, tools, and state of the art in technology and storytelling surrounding human and animal intelligence, learning, and interaction. Students design unique intelligent systems, build prototype experiences and test on real people.
In an increasingly connected world, AI becomes the invisible fabric that ties together people’s life experiences. But what is AI, and how will people interact with it? What are the opportunities and risks for people living in a world of intelligent systems? What is intelligence and what is artificial? Let’s get ahead of the technology curve by having artists and designers apply creativity and design thinking to map out critical emotional, physical, and experiential territories to foster a humanistic evolution of intelligent systems.
