For artists and society, there are valid deep ethical and environmental concerns. However, AI is also proving to be a valuable practical creative tool, which feeds into a social undercurrent that is shaping how we connect to art and each other.

Hear from three artists and researchers on how they are using AI tools to explore digital cultures, interrogate machine logic, and support artistic practice. This is also a great opportunity to step inside ARU's 360 degree immersive spaces, showing a range of works in progress, which you'll be invited to explore and share opinions on.

Speakers:

Dian Joy, British-Nigerian interdisciplinary artist and filmmaker
