SHOOSTY BUGS / An Art Infestation

RESPONSIBLE AI

The legal and ethical development of AI is a tough problem. The world has disjointed laws especially between governments and outside actors. AI will be no different. That makes this discussion more like a space race or military build-up then a discussion among creative folks working diligently on their crafts. This framework makes the arts a subordinate subject to the bigger picture of drone warfare, robotics, and the disruptions this new technol- ogy can cause to employment worldwide. Yet, everywhere I see it being deployed today, I see massive gains in productivity and tremendous opportunities. Generative AI is the dream of science fiction. To ignore it would be to waste the biggest opportunity to aid all of humanity. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Everyone is on the road to some kind of dis- ability. AI can help us to fill in those areas that

are weak while strengthening the ones that are strong. How can we do it all safe and ethically? How can we embrace traditional art forms and bring them into the next century? How can we keep AI safe? Like it or not, art is at the lead of these discus- sions. Artists work in the world of dreams. They make things. The can express both Utopian and Dystopian outcomes far before they occur. It’s called science fiction and horror. Two genres that predict the future. They are augmented by fiction and non-fiction, which highlight the history of the world, one by an attempt at truth, and the other with imagination. In all cases these people do a deep dive into the human experience.
