From the smart speaker sitting on your kitchen counter to generated chair designs inspiring product designers, AI is already all around us. It is being used in countless wonderful, creative, and challenging ways. As this fast-paced technology develops, it pushes the frontiers of every field; however, it inevitably raises new questions to consider in ethics, responsible AI, and authorship.

So let's explore those questions together!

In this hands-on workshop, we'll all make our own pieces of AI art, while discussing what to consider when co-creating with a machine that consumes thousands of pieces of data — especially when that data belongs to other people.

At the end of this, you'll:

* have created your own pieces of AI art with Google Colab and/or Runway

* know how artists today are using AI

* have a critical understanding of AI and the unique challenges that come with working with it.

While some coding experience is helpful, it isn't mandatory.

Let's co-create with new tech and with each other, with care.
