Can AI be a public good?
ARTIST TALK: Talking and Creating with the Machine. Can AI be a public good?
- Jacek Nagłowski _PL | vnLab PWSFTViT, AI Social Lab
- Marcin Maciejewski | infuture.institute | Prowadzący / Host
The meeting will be dedicated to the creative possibilities that AI models already offer today — both those developed by tech giants and those based on open-source solutions. It will also look into the making of the VR Conversations experience, built around the artist’s authentic dialogues with successive generations of artificial intelligence. A key theme of the discussion will be the role of the AI Social Lab as a laboratory for AI systems designed to support solutions to future social, cultural, and educational challenges.
The discussion will be moderated by Marcin Maciejewski and conducted in Polish.
