<div>Five Video Interviews about AI</div>
<div>with Magda Tyzlik-Carver, Nick Couldry & Ulises Mejias, Adam
Harvey, Elisa Giardina Papa and Matteo Pasquinelli<br>
</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>»Emotion and Artificial Intelligence - The Myth of
Universality, Transparency, and Truth« with Elisa Giardina
Papa</b><br>
</div>
<div>Elisa Giardina Papa investigates emotion and data as productive
force of Artificial Intelligence, from a feminist perspective on the
precarious labor conditions, which occur along AI's production.<br>
</div>
<div>»So, basically now when the client of The Invisible Boyfriend
app is connecting, the app is really connecting not to a bot, but to a
globally dispersed workforce of around 600 writers. So this is a kind
of a human-machine-assemblage that I'm thinking about, when I address
artificial intelligence systems.«<br>

<div><b>»Exploring the Economic and Social Roots of AI« with
Matteo Pasquinelli</b><br>
</div>
<div>An overview interview with Matteo Pasquinelli about the
ideological, the logical, the technical and the social form of AI.<br>
</div>
<div>»Let's take self-driving cars, because they are indeed a
mythological object. They are experiments, but we don't have them
properly mass produced and used in everyday life yet. The self-driving
car for me is a good example, because the self-driving car, has the
vision to automate a very complex form of labor that is the labor of
the driver.«<br>

<div><b>»Data Colonialism« with Nick Couldry & Ulises
Mejias</b><br>
</div>
<div>Ulises Mejias and Nick Couldry discuss data as an abstraction of
life and describe how data is extracted and colonially exploited for
AI.<br>
</div>
<div>»Whether we're talking about value or labor or subjectivity
or social relations, it's all becoming digital information that can
be amassed, can be processed and used to control not just workers in
the factories. But also to control and to capitalize on people who are
not working. So it's now outside of that area, of that domain of
work.«<br>

<div><b>»Face Recognition Datasets« with Adam Harvey</b><br>
</div>
<div>Adam Harvey is critically examining artificial intelligence
training data for face recognition.<br>
</div>
<div>»I don't think, it's possible to destroy the complete face
detection/computer vision existing infrastructure, and nor do I
want to. But to limit its growth and limit its dangerous potential to
grow and know more and more about who you are and what you're
looking at, how you're moving, and with who you around.«<br>

<div><b>»Curating Data« with Magda Tyzlik-Carver</b><br>
</div>
<div>Magda Tyzlik-Carver explores the webs of relationships between
humans and the non-human of software and algorithms. In doing so, she
ties into the concepts of the špost-humanŠ.<br>
</div>
<div>»Because we are so involved in this, we need more educational
competency about data. It's important to know how data is processed
and also how to actually intervene, how to step into an artist role,
and analyze what's happening, how not to take it for granted.«<br>

<div><b>About</b><br>
</div>
<div>This is a series of interviews accompanying<i> Training the
Archive</i>, a joint project of Ludwig Forum Aachen and Hartware
MedienKunstVerein Dortmund, in cooperation with RWTH Aachen
University. Training the archive explores the applicability of
artificial intelligence to art and the curation of art.<br>
</div>
<div>The project is dedicated to visual archives and the question of
how new contexts can be created in these collections using machine
learning. Francis Hunger conducts interviews with artists, curators
and theorists who have made significant contributions to the research
field in recent years.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><i>Training the Archive</i> is funded by the Digital Culture
programme of the Federal Cultural Foundation and the Federal
Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media (BKM).</div>
