How can questions of AI and sustainability inspire artistic creation?
Artificial intelligence (AI) could save the climate, advance the energy transition, boost the economy, significantly improve human health and well-being and promote creative and artistic processes.
At the same time, current AI approaches consume large amounts of energy and resources, the living and working conditions of many people in AI development processes are inhumane and digital data sets are used to train AI systems without the consent and compensation of the creators.
Many unresolved problems raise questions of ethics and sustainability. How can the arts respond to this? Do we need a new art of justice that critically accompanies the discourse of AI?
