Joanna Zylinska, writer, artist and Professor of Media Philosophy + Critical Digital Practice at King’s College London, joins the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory's (University of Belgrade) lecture series on The Future of AI: Social and Cultural Aspects. The series is organized by the Digital Society Lab [DigLab] of the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory.
Drawing on her philosophical work and her art practice, Joanna Zylinska will interrogate whether we can actively mobilise nonhuman creativity as a way of opening up our all too human ways of thinking and acting. She will also explore whether AI, rooted as it is in the extractivitst logic of the tech industry, can overcome its own material conditions of existence. Could AI play the role of a philosopher-visionary that will show us a way out of the current socio-political impasse? Could it get beyond the limitations of our human frames of mind to imagine a different set of propositions and arrangements for us? Could it help us envisage a better future?
