AI: An Immigrant
Dragan Todorovic - Warwick Writing Programme, SCAPVC
[some preliminary probing]
- AI is an immigrant. Like all immigrants, it is learning the language we speak, and we are treating it mostly as someone who is coming to take our jobs. We are paying much less attention to what are the skills this immigrant has, what can it do for us, not against us.
- So far, AI has proven capable to diagnose cancer where human doctors don’t, to come up with a new form of antibiotic, successful against MRSA and other resistant types of bacteria. On the other hand, I have already heard of the UK magazine that intends to keep only commentators and use AI for any news reporting. So the situation is complex. I don’t think it is particularly useful to talk about AI only from the perspective of this terrible Something that will annihilate us. I am also afraid of what would happen if the AI legislation leads to AI portals being available only to the elites. That would produce unimaginable inequalities.
- Part of the fascination with AI comes from the fact that it is skilful in using language, often speaking much better English than people working on it. Harari and some other influencers are instigating panic about it, as in ‘language is the code of the human civilisation and now robots have the key—we are doomed’. But I think the whole history of civilisation is a long march towards communication. We have already made our fridges talk to our stores—why is AI causing such panic?...
- …Because it is illuminating how banal our communication is. Try to have AI write something artistic for you and it is respecting the basic rules of the trade, but it makes something very banal. And that mirror is highly disturbing. We are placing such values on some packages of expression: expression of love, loyalty, and legal statements. Now we are seeing that these are all just Lego blocks that can be easily produced. We have known this in theory, but now we are seeing them produced by robots. And THAT is scary because suddenly we see that the whole structure we have built is a soap bubble.
- But: what is art but a mirror? Can we not use another one?
- Let’s use AI to take a better look at ourselves. How far dare we dream? For example: If we want to travel to the stars, we will have to abandon our bodies. Can we imagine such a future, with autonomous units with all our values built in, but capable of reaching the places we can’t and bringing us the knowledge we don’t have? While, of course, we are developing new weapons and waging wars, training for the final showdown against AI.
Intermythomediamentality
Tim White - Theatre and Performance Studies, SCAPVC
This presentation is an early fork of a paper to be given at IFTR 2023 in Ghana, July 2023
[Abstract] Things may be in abeyance in the metaverse and whatever small ransom is required to enter this as yet nascent virtual realm, the prospect of paying via cryptocurrency seems diminishingly unlikely. Stepping up to the plate to fill the void in our future imaginings is the coming of age of artificial intelligence, presaged both by giddy anticipation and grave admonitions. No significant processing power may have been expended in settling on the name ChatGPT, yet within months it is reckoned to have authored content across a broad swathe of activities considered the preserve of specialists. Perhaps we are experiencing belated regret that we were not more vociferous when they came for the loom workers, the switchboard operators or any others displaced by automation. Perhaps we can overlook the irony that software has been developed to detect non-human authorship. Perhaps, not unreasonably, one might struggle with such singular prose written to distinguish itself from the product of computational aggregation and assimilation. In this paper I intend to audit, analyse and assess the growing adoption of artificial intelligence within the practice and teaching of new media. This will embrace tools and workflows as well as the ensuing results, considering the consequences, intended or otherwise. The narratives of new efficiencies and convenience will be considered against the risks to existing notions of creativity and employment, across a range of art forms and the terms by which they might be evaluated.
