NOTE: This workshop is open - drop in and drop out at any time and open to all ages.

This 1-day session will not only equip artists to understand the implications and opportunities of artificial intelligence but also imagine the appropriate artistic and political responses to a world that will be significantly altered by the introduction of these technologies.

We need artists not only using these tools, but informing the conversation about how these tools will be deployed, and to whose benefit.

We can engange in dialogue about how AI is used already in improving access to health, education, in creative industry, how it affects artists sales, how it impacts cultural diversity and more. Can it be used to improve well-being? How do kids see AI? What's the impact on jobs and what are the skills of the future?

Artificial Intelligence is nothing without your intelligence. We look forward to hearing you. Drop in to say hi!

Structure:

Hands-on experience with AI in a non-technical way

Examples from the field on how it is being deployed

Considerations for Nunavut creators and communities

How can communities respond (making sense)

Shared response - what's next?
