Abstract:
How do algorithms embed specific human agendas, and how can we leverage this capability to create new software that better reflects core values of creativity, equality, sustainability, privacy, inclusion and diversity? In this talk I present a number of recent artworks and software projects that explore such questions in a range of interdisciplinary contexts, from games to natural language to artificial intelligence.
