Workshop offered in French by a bilingual facilitator
Ada X and Algora Lab are presenting a series of three introductory workshops on AI, aimed at educating and equipping artists to engage with issues related to the rise of algorithmic technologies in our daily lives. Facilitated by Vincent Mai (Algora Lab), the first workshop will address the following questions: What is data? What is AI? How do they work? These fundamentals will allow artists to think about relevant ways to integrate AI into their practice, as well as to look critically at these technological applications.
The subsequent workshops will provide feminist and decolonial frameworks for engaging with AI, as well as tools for citizen involvement. The workshops will be given in French by bilingual facilitators.
This event is primarily for Ada X members. Not a member yet? Become a member at this link!
