He emphasizes the alienation that results in the loss of knowledge about and control of the tools workers have to deal with as craft are industrialized and automation becomes the prevalent mode of production. (Mass consumption becomes the purpose of production and the utilitarian aspect of technology is at the forefront of capitalism) but for him (contrasting with Marx\u2019s understanding of alienation) it is <b>the lack of understanding of the workings of technical objects that is at the core of this alienation and loss of agency<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As the curator Natalia Fuchs has pointed out in her recent presentation at Mutek Montreal, artists working with AI take on the role of <b>activists,\u00a0inventors, and researchers<\/b> as well. (Fuchs 2019)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Artists who make extensive use of technology in their work often precede technological development by many years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">For example, the very influential artists Steina and Woody Vasulka, the video art pioneers used analogue video feedback to create generative art. Video feedback is now cited as an example of deterministic chaos, and the early explorations by the Vasulkas anticipated contemporary science by many years. The Canadian artist David Rockeby is also at the forefront of technological development as demonstrated in his artwork, \u201cthe giver of names\u201d and \u201cVery Nervous System.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The Russian artist Helena Nikonole provides an understanding of how artists appropriate technological algorithms introduced by scientists and \u201cquestion machine education which, having penetrated all life spheres, is beginning to impact the world around us.\u201d Nikonole observes that \u201cMass culture suggests scenarios where artificial intelligence appears as a threatening antagonist of humans and the rise of the machines is the most likely course of events following the technological singularity\u2014a hypothetical moment when machine intelligence overcomes human abilities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Media artists, she reminds us, \u201cfocus our attention on <b>significantly more crucial issues<\/b> brought about by machine education based on an artificial neuron (which we imply speaking about artificial intelligence today).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Many artists have <b>critical practices pointing to issues we are faced with as the technology is spreading: i.e., the fixity of norms, racial and other bias, etc. <\/b>such as<b> <\/b>Mushon Zer-Aviv and Yonatan Ben Simon <i>normalizing machine<\/i>. \u00a0Matthieu Cherubini points to the famous trolley problem and the ethics of automated decisions in his work on \u201cethical Autonomous Vehicules\u201d and Fran\u00e7ois Quevillon looks at the limitations of computer vision in \u201cAlgoryhtmic\u00a0D\u00a0ive\u201d. Lauren McCarthy explores the tensions between intimacy and privacy, convenience and agency, and the role of <b>human labour in AI <\/b>and its potential for the future of automation; Joy Buolamwini points to <b>racial bias<\/b> embedded in the current AI facial recognition software. Anna Ridler explores speculation in her project Bloemenveiling (2019), interrogating the way technology drives human desire and economic dynamics by creating artificial scarcity. Montreal artist Sofian Audry\u2019s conceptual explorations of AI can also be categorized as speculative explorations. Others like Tom White, Fran\u00e7ois Quevillon, Georgia Ward Dyer and Gregory Chatonsky and the Germano-Japanese artist Hito Steyerl\u00a0 point to the limitation of the tools when recognizing and classifying images. Jason Lewis and Suzanne Kite are working on ethical guidelines for the creation of AI systems based on protocols inspired by Indigenous ontologies that place man \u201cneither as height nor centre of creation\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><span class=\"s1\">As a Dawson.AI fellow, B\u00e9reng\u00e8re will<\/span>\u00a0focus on the work of artists that exemplify the issues and potential of machine learning and computerized automation as examples to contextualize the study of technical tools that constitute what is commonly called Artificial Intelligence.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">B\u00e9reng\u00e8re L.

Before coming to Dawson, she worked for CBC Radio One in Montreal. She published on George A. Romero's\u00a0<em>Knightriders<\/em>\u00a0in the inaugural issue of\u00a0<em>MONSTRUM<\/em>\u00a0in 2018, and she will be a contributor to a companion to Shirley Jackson collection due for publication in 2020.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Rebecca Million (Eng.) and Marjan Heywood (Hum.) will develop a paired Humanities\/English course about the ethics of interacting with non-human intelligences. In addition, we intend to launch a podcast where we interview thinkers, artists, and experts of all kinds about AI and its potentialities.<\/p>\n<p>As an AI Fellow, Rebecca Million is working on developing a course in which speculative fiction and theoretical texts will be used to engender discussion around the emotional and psychological effects of dealing with \u201cintelligences\u201d engineered by humans, and the challenges humanity might encounter as we incorporate AI and genetic engineering into our (post-)human future.<\/p>\n<p>Part of Million\u2019s approach will be to explore the history of our interactions with non-human intelligences -- nonhuman animals, Nature, aliens, microbial life forms, etc., as a basis for understanding how we might consciously and conscientiously interact with AI in the future. We will also examine the consequences of our human tendency to create categories and hierarchies within our own species.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"clear:both;\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/article><!-- #post-## -->\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- end news-item -->\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"item team_member desktop-12 tablet-6 mobile-full contained\" data-num=\"6\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<article style=\"padding:10px;\" id=\"post-158\" class=\"post-158 ai_team_member type-ai_team_member status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry ai_team_role-ai-executive ai_team_role-fac-fellows ai_member_department-humanities ai_member_department-philosophy ai_member_year-2019-2020\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<header class=\"entry-header\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-img desktop-6 tablet-12 mobile-12 \" style=\"text-align:center;\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/team-members\/robert-stephens\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" class=\"popup-trigger\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/AI-website-headshot-400x400.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"Robert Stephens\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/AI-website-headshot-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/AI-website-headshot-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/AI-website-headshot-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/AI-website-headshot-960x960.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/AI-website-headshot-1920x1920.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/180\/AI-website-headshot.jpg 1932w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"entry-meta desktop-18 popup-trigger\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"entry-title\">Robert Stephens<\/h4><span class=\"department\">Humanities<\/span>, <span class=\"department\">Philosophy<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"excerpt\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Robert Stephens teaches Philosophy and Humanities at Dawson College, and is the current Coordinator of the ALC Arts &amp; Culture Profile.
