Coalition Building

We believe the current trajectory of AI is not predetermined and that creative communities should play a role in shaping their future. To that end, we are motivated to bring more transparency to the ways AI affects creative communities and to use that common ground to help shape what comes next. One of the primary ways we do that is building coalitions. We connect artists, designers, technologists, and scholars through panels, workshops, and talks that explore ethical impacts and creative potential of AI.
