Mystical AI, ethical AI?
Trials of the Century - season 4
Moderator: François Saltiel
With Charleyne Biondi, PhD in political science and Filipe Vilas-Boas, artist.
With the participation of Sarah Dietz, in charge of computerized collection management at Mucem.
In March 2023, a thousand experts called for a “pause” in the advance of artificial intelligence. Generative artificial intelligence, currently the dominant technology and the creator of a certain vision of the world, is creating quite a buzz. Generating hopes and fears, can AI free itself from existing systems of domination and become a tool at the service of society and democracy? How can we build an ethical AI, as demanded by the Net giants themselves?

An artist who humorously examines our hypermodern times, Filipe Vilas-Boas develops a satirical critique of the notion of technological progress while cultivating his own analog and digital poetry. His installations, videos and performances combine AI and DIY, robotics and philosophy, sociology and literature, astronomy and music. His creations combine recovery, misappropriation and new media. In particular, he explores the accesses and excesses of digital technology, and attempts to materialize its ethical and aesthetic implications. Born in Portugal in 1981, he lives and works in Ivry.
