AI in Question: Questions for AI

Edit






Few innovations or revolutions spark as much debate as artificial intelligence. Who would ChatGPT vote for? What are the environmental and social cost-benefit implications of AI’s rise? What dependencies are emerging, and what new forms of autonomy can be achieved? Should there be a moratorium on AI?
Bringing together around thirty experts and creators, in connection with the Le Monde Selon l’IA (The World According to AI) exhibition at the Jeu de Paume, these discussions will explore aesthetics, economics, ethics, and politics. AI itself will take part “in person” through a system designed at IRCAM.
