“Future and technology”: What is changing?

Artificial Intelligence Conference in collaboration with Gijón City Council

Until 7 November 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already integrated into many aspects of our daily lives. Whether consciously or not, we live with it from the moment we use apps on our mobile phones, consume cultural products on streaming platforms or make online purchases.

This technology, which is increasingly present in our daily lives, poses new challenges and dilemmas: what uses can it be put to, what new ethical questions does it raise, and can AI be the author of works of art? The “Future and technology 2024” sessions, organised by the City Council of Gijón in collaboration with LABoral Centro de Arte, will attempt to answer these and other questions through talks and conferences given by professionals.

The conference is organised into four days of lectures, with each day focusing on a different thematic area:

  • 4 November. Centro de Cultura Antiguo Instituto, 19 h

Artificial intelligence: realities, myths and problems. An analysis of the recent development of artificial intelligence, its ethical, economic and ecological implications, and how society can deal with them.

  • 5 November. Centro de Cultura Antiguo Instituto, 19 h

Artificial Intelligence: Data and Ethical Issues

  • 6 November. Centro de Cultura Antiguo Instituto, 19 h

Generative artificial intelligence in literary creation and copyright. An approach to the use of artificial intelligence as a tool for artistic creation and the questions it raises in relation to copyright.

  • 7 November. LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial, 19 h

Generative artificial intelligence: case studies. Generative artificial intelligence (GEN AI) has established itself as a disruptive tool for digital creation thanks to software such as ChatGPT, Midjourney and Dall-e. In this activity we will discover, through case studies, how AI GEN can be used for artistic visual creation, speculative architecture, or citizen data science. We will also have the launch of Vol. 5 of creAtIva Magazine, the first magazine in Spain entirely dedicated to AI GEN, which presents the work of 25 international artists under the title ‘Anatomy of the Prompt’.
