You see it everywhere: in your search engine, in your apps, in your media. AI is integrating into all aspects of our daily lives. This technological revolution is happening much faster than some experts ever expected. As we approach this new frontier in human history, how does AI skew our view of the world? And how is it impacting our understanding of what it means to be human?
To explore this topic, two experts who are studying and applying AI in their work and art weigh in.
Gretchen Andrew is a fine artist and AI tech expert. In Facetune Portraits, Andrew explores how AI changes our perceptions of appearance by representing the differences between reality and beauty filters. The filters you see on your social media and in Zoom meetings may not be noticeable, but Andrew’s goal is to turn those changes into a series of marks and scars on a canvas.
