We don't know what our future will look like. But we are working with artists, scientists, activists and entrepreneurs from all over the world to make this future worth living. Together, we create prototypical scenarios that push technical potential to the limit and put it at the service of our society. Technology thus becomes a focal point for new fields of research and innovative applications, for fundamental discourses and inspiring perspectives for the future.

As we approach the 2024 presidential election, affordable generative is fundamentally reshaping American electoral dynamics. While tactics such as manipulated images and deceptive robocalls remain prevalent, this new technological dimension amplifies the struggle between voters and manipulators. Throughout this cycle, the capabilities of technologies, the evolving literacy of the public, and the challenges facing regulators will all be put to the test. https://www.theverge.com/policy/24098798/2024-election-ai-generated-disinformation

(1/4) In the fight for recognition and equal rights, International Women’s Day originated in the period before the First World War. Since then, it has been celebrated annually on March 8. However, 100 years later, women are still underrepresented at the interface between , and society. History has shown that the commitment and public visibility of women can drive progress towards equality and greater justice. The gender gap may be shrinking, but there's more work ahead!

As advances, exemplified by Neuralink's brain chip, -powered brain decoders, and consumer EEG headbands, we are approaching an era where the harvesting of neural by corporations could become commonplace. This technological progress raises critical privacy concerns. It has catalyzed legislative initiatives aimed at establishing "neurorights" to safeguard individual mental and autonomy against unregulated access and exploitation. https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/24078512/brain-tech-privacy-rights-neurorights-colorado-yuste

AI's use is significant but unclear, due to variability in models and lack of transparency from tech giants. Training like GPT-3 for example consumes massive electricity, with its overall environmental impact still uncertain. Projections suggest AI's electricity demand could rise sharply, urging a need for greater openness, efficiency, and questioning AI's essential uses for sustainability. https://www.theverge.com/24066646/ai-electricity-energy-watts-generative-consumption

Today in 'Shitty Art-world Gatekeepers Treating Artists Shittily' news...

Wondering what happened to some applications that took days and days to put together, I find that @arselectronica who run an EU Digital Deal residency are not even bothering to notify losers! Only winners contacted.

No feedback was bad enough. Now, not even a courtesy 'no thank you'.

Shame on you, Ars Electronica.

Shame on all you gatekeepers who think it's fine to treat people this way.

arselectronica,

@cyanotype This is, by no means, to say we don't care about all the applications and the artists who put a lot of work into them. We are and have always been committed to promoting the work of emerging artists. For this open call, we have had to make tough decisions, choosing from a large number of great applications. Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to give feedback or write to each artist. We hope you understand and we wish you all the best in the future.

arselectronica,

@cyanotype we're sorry you feel this way. We have received an overwhelming amount of applications for this particular open call, and together with all the partners in it, we have decided to inform the winners for now. There will be a public announcement later in the month.

What do we want from AI? How do we make music with artificial intelligence? What does it mean to do so--and is it even a good idea?

The widespread adoption of AI-generated imagery has sparked concern among creators over the unauthorized use of their works for training, undermining their livelihoods. Solutions such as Glaze and Kin.Art offer ways to make artworks resistant to AI training, providing creators with mechanisms to protect their intellectual property amidst challenges posed by digital proliferation and AI technologies' exploitation. https://www.theverge.com/24063327/ai-art-protect-images-copyright-generators

arselectronica,

@f4grx that's true, unfortunately disrupting the training of AI models with certain types of data without significantly altering the original material is much harder.
