Which is why they should work with artists, biologists, ecologists, etc from around the world. Arts & Technology. It has to be a collective. Collective memories, collective documentation. (I do agree that leaving it all in the wrong hands (or just a set few) can go in the wrong direction.)
The hypersensitive reactions from Anadol & his defenders to criticisms of his work showed how rigid, immature & petty some creators can be. Who cares if someone criticizes your work! If you create for the sake of acceptance & approval, then you are creating for the market. I’ve seen Anadol’s work. It’s interesting and sometimes striking. But there’s nothing ‘personal’ about it as Anadol has so stridently claimed. Viewers don’t need to know anything about an artist to appreciate their work. The work should stand alone & speak for itself.
Remember when technological advances were supposed to liberate humanity from needing to work in soulless jobs and allow everyone to pursue the arts or wherever their passions lay.
Some people's passion nowadays seem to lie in being passive observers and having stuff fed to them through wires and tubes. It's like their form of liberation is to exist in a Matrix-like environment.
Remember? Why exactly? Because it hasn't happened in the last *months* since people started talking about it for real? This comment represents exactly a quote from Geoffrey Hinton on how things will change: People have way too high expectations in the short term, and then the opposite in the long term.
No one is stopping no one from doing art. Now, if what you want is money, you have to do work that consumers will value. If you expect to get paid to just exist and do art, you probably have a narcissistic personality disorder.
I think the scope of this presentation might not the best. I might be wrong. However, it would be interesting to use AI in order to teach the importance of safeguarding real nature, not just recreate them to preserve our memories of extinct species.
Not sure if you’re aware, but Refik Anadol Studios raised 2 million usd (and more in royalties) through their NFT collection called ‘Winds of Yawanawa’. 80% of the funds generated from the collection have been directly donated to the Yawanawa Tribe in their own smart contract in order to help them building a cultural centre that’s focused on empowering them in their quest to educate others about their culture, Amazonian culture as well as the general need for ecological preservation. This isn’t the average donation that never reaches those putting in the real work.

I seriously don't understand why AI needs to do art so badly. It's the only thing expressing the essence of humanity, that wasn't meant to be replicated by a machine. The human expression isn't found in slinging around Amazon boxes for minimum wage, something a robot should be doing. No, we have to force the robots doing art. One day you'll see how boring and dystopian it's going to be, if art, creation and storytelling is only made by artificial intelligence. It's already too late.
Is art really something so sacred that we can't experiment with new ways of making it? Most people are not able, for one reason or another, to manually make art. They have now a way to express themselves.

KEY ISSUES FOR THE 2023 BRICS SUMMIT The 15th BRICS summit 2023 in South Africa ended with the admission of 6 new countries, including two from Africa (Ethiopia and Egypt). In addition to the enlargement of the organization, this meeting had several other issues at stake: - Overhauling the system of global governance. The BRICS want to offer a financial alternative to the Bretton Woods institutions, such as the World Bank and IMF, and have created the new BRICS Development Bank. - The creation of a $100 billion fund to provide development aid to countries that so desire.
- The creation of a new currency, pegged to gold or to a basket of currencies from the five countries. - The de-dollarization of the global economy. The BRICS also want to tackle the issue of de-dollarization, by trying to convince several countries to leave the dollar as their international transaction currency. - Expanding the BRICS: Many countries have applied to join the BRICS, or have expressed an interest in doing so. Current member countries will need to clarify conditions and define protocols for integrating new members or developing strategic partnerships.

KENYA AND TANZANIA WORK TO IMPROVE TRADE TIES, DAR ES SALAAM. Kenya will work with Tanzania to eliminate barriers to cross-border trade.

He noted that a borderless East African Community (EAC) will foster free movement of goods and services, thereby unlocking the bloc’s economic potential.

What is the difference between this project, and models like MidJourney's? Any model is biased, but the more resolution, the less possible bias. Midjourney will learn in what conditions a specific plant should be found in.
Refik Anadol's work is nothing short of breathtaking. The fusion of data, art, and nature captures the essence of our rapidly changing world. It's inspiring to think about how AI can help us preserve and appreciate the fleeting beauty of nature.
Oh, I thought the title said "How Art Could Enhance Humanity's Collective Memory"... I was gonna recommend searching images for "Cairn T Ceiling Stone"... A depiction of an event ~13000 years ago that we are still feeling the effects of today not only Geologically, but also Geo-Politically.. i.e. Jericho is in Palestine/Jordan...
I’m a big fan of him, but this is beyond a joke… AI can’t not replace any of actual thing. AI graphic is merely based on the Media arts. Nothing more. It’s just the mixture of the images
It's not about substitution...it's about growing. Technology offers tools, not inteligence. There's no Artificial Intelligence, but artificial models which emulate thinking. We are actually affraid of ourselves, our lack of principles and emphaty
Exactly, but it does not change the fact that it will be used as substitution to some degree. It's a turning point, just like nuclear fission once was. But the cat is out of the box already, all we can do is try to better reconcile our workflow around this huge new tool and hope it doesn't have such a negative impact on the lives of everyone.
The lack of regulations of this particular technology have negative impact on artists and art in general. I am certain the technology will turn into useful tools soon enough. As of now I am sick and overwhelmed by all the glossy trash, AI art generators have showered the internet with. The personality and uniqueness of an artist seems to be replaced as artists are losing their already underpaid jobs, to these cliche factories.

Artwork is heartwork. An artist would find AI as interesting tool to contribute to arts related world without overwhelming human contributions in the same.
Being bit old school in arts I donot use AI still but it seems curious.
Ideas worth spreading, indeed! ?

A big big lack of sense in every sentences heard in this 5mn sequence. These data could be for sure useful, but please stop talking like an artist with metaphorical evasive sentences, how can this be a ted ?

Refik Anadol Studios raised 2 million usd (and more in royalties) through their NFT collection called ‘Winds of Yawanawa’. 80% of the funds generated from the collection have been directly donated to the Yawanawa Tribe in their own smart contract in order to help them building a cultural centre that’s focused on empowering them in their quest to educate others about their culture, Amazonian culture as well as the general need for ecological preservation.
20% of the funds go towards production costs for creation, showcasing and distribution of the artwork.
RAS (Studio) and The House of Fine Art (Gallery) aren’t pocketing anything from this. It’s one of the purest versions of altruism we get to see.
And the ‘product’ has all collectors extremely thrilled about it too.
This isn’t the average donation that never reaches those putting in the real work.

"No country, however powerful it may be, is entitled to act outside the United Nations. The United Nations was established in order that countries, irrespective of the continent from which they come, should act through an organised and disciplined body. The United Nations is here to promote peace in the world and any country that acts outside the United Nations is making a serious mistake."
