AI Ethics in Art: How Artists Are Debating the Future of Artificial Intelligence

Es Devlin has come up with an unusual format for talking about AI: instead of a stage and slides, a pottery workshop at Oxford Kilns. At the AI and Earth conference, artists, researchers, academics and spiritual leaders shaped 160-million-year-old Jurassic clay, listened to the sound of a singing bowl, and argued about where technology is taking people and what it is changing in creative work. The format replaces the traditional panel with hands-on work, so that the discussion of AI and its influence on humans happens while participants make something with their hands.
