Visions for the future of AI in culture

THURSDAY 1 OCTOBER

What do we want from machines?

  • Thursday 1 October
    11:30, Rockmuseet: Værkstedet

AI is no longer merely a technical tool, but an active participant in art, culture and cultural dissemination. This session opens with a brief, research-based presentation on visions for the interaction between humans and machines at a time when AI is shaping both practices and conceptions of the future. Drawing on the concept of socio-technical imaginaries, the argument is made that we need positive and pluralistic visions of the future with AI – as alternatives to the dominant narratives from the tech industry.  

Communication students from Roskilde University will then present their visions for a positive future with AI, which they have been working on as part of an elective module in Cultural Communication.

The presentation will be followed by a short panel discussion on how such visions can be developed, shared, and put into practice in cultural contexts.

The discussion opens new perspectives on how positive visions can become a driving force for a future with AI in cultural life.
