- 14:45 - 15:15: What If…? Untraining AI Through Artistic Approaches — Bruno Moreschi, Associate Professor, Aalto ARTS, Dept. of Art and Media
How can we imagine and create an AI that is more experimental, more transparent, and less driven by marketing logics? This talk presents projects, exercises, and exchanges that I have developed over nearly a decade with people (and with deconstructed or unconventional technological tools) applying artistic methodologies and practices.
It proposes working with the notion of an “untrained AI,” one that remains open to greater human agency, to error, to new possibilities and even to possible refusals.
