or machine learning to put it more precisely is a kind of sparring partners bearings partner. a partner that helps in the composition process and reacts to suggestions. for 9 years musician ali nick ryan has been developing a program to write sophisticated compositions was this written by a man or a machine it's impossible to tell. he's big breakthrough came with a program which can compose pieces in the style of everything from mozart to. a very strange feeling listen to a piece of music that is a composed by an ai since it is able to examine responses because be exactly. as not understand our emotions. possible pianist glenn gould's performances were

emotional and unconventional though he died in 1902 his style is still alive and well. thanks to ai. so what we're doing is we're analyzing going towards audio recordings to see out here interpret a given piece of music and try to change to an ai system so that i could play an expressive style of. bringing going all back to life. it's as if glen gold's ghost is sitting at the piano those who knew him a star. christian knows or doesn't just want to imitate human creations he wants to explore unknown to mentions through his art with the help from ai he's collected some other world peace.

this is. very brief as we take this great unknown outer space and we try to capture radio signals from space and then we have our manmade scan it to look for patterns which we wouldn't be able to find on our own fin transcriptions from space interpreted by using familiar harmony it's a bit by bit bizarre yet somehow sublime. and you kind of you enter a question and you get a reply you never would have anticipated that can move things forward in the composition or creative work which allows it to take

a turn you simply couldn't predict the business that's quite exciting that's out of the such fun. machines are becoming increasingly able to adapt learn and create original unpredictable outputs how would you say this impacts society today ai looks like this magical black box that is new things that we've never seen before and also maybe we we ascribe too much power to these things that are influencing us as well so now we just think of all these algorithms that are manipulating us in so many ways and the truth is we don't really know the extent to which this many pollution . works we don't have like a very solid scientific basis about how much really how much power these things have over us what do you think the top dangers are of enter creating ai entire lives having

a small group of people have more not ballistic power over here i. so if you think of today we have very few companies that have disproportionate power over our data if this data is fed to ai's that can then have a say or can make decisions that impact us and society as a whole then we're in trouble because then we are in a tyrannical situation and i think that's a problem that we don't have really transparency about which data can be owned by whom can be used by whom to what end and this is not always part of. a clear transparent discussion what role do you think art can play in this debates i think are going to be really powerful because it can help us imagine. both the good and the bad as artists can translate. the technology and the unknown into something that our imagination can and can deal with and that we can.

connect with on an emotional level and intellectual and talk to so i think a great role to play. can our act as a mediator between the real world and digital reality it's as if we're living in 2 worlds at the same time. in one that is visible in which we can take a train go shopping meet other people. and another in which we are monitored and algorithms make decisions for us. artificial intelligence systems collect data and arrange the world who profits who loses out. imagine you're walking down the street and if you're an older woman you know you only see certain stores and certain options businesses but if you're

a younger man you see lots and you see a totally different street and that's very much what i was you know having nightmares about you know that the street that i would walk down as a black woman in germany might be entirely different than the street that you know friends family members are able to walk down because they're male because why because they're not. what can our do to fight discrimination what role kind of play. i think that has a great strength it can make things accessible i think that it's extremely important because our society is so influenced by artificial intelligence now people are being marginalized by these technologies and we have to speak about it. dani and nicky mustapha are 2 researchers and artists based. in berlin who are exploring the question of why the world remains so one just although there is so much artificial intelligence. here there in berlin's future in

a space where the future of the planet and humanity is explored this is a world increasingly dominated by machines and algorithms that are discriminatory. dani says that ai is intertwined with racism and sexism. that after the data that the systems used from the past said they're actually quite conservative systems in a sense. when they're used to predict to recommend. to. underscore what to expect in the future it's very unrealistic to expect them to be more egalitarian or fair or anything different than the data that it's amusing as a basis i have. fashion her some time with no one in sight. joy is a gun in american computer scientist and artist she started fighting bias in

algorithms after realizing that ai did not recognize her face unless she wore a white mask. the more she delved into the issue the more she understood that it was a structural problem ai systems do not work with black people particularly black women . so joy gender shapes project is really how i started to understand that this is a whole body of research that's been done if you're not convinced that you have a representative data set of the various possibilities for diversity in the world then you're probably not going to have a very fair or a very expansive assessment by an algorithm of who is. legitimate person who is a person at all who is considered an individual who has access to social participation who has positions of power for ai systems fed with data from the past

the answer is often white men some of them cannot even attribute the right sex to women still obama i know a bastard on a raid to wear her gown of history her crown seems a mess for systems i'm sure of her hair a wig of the far to the hey maybe not are there no words for our brains in our blogs this is your last day here and sunny. the 1st lady. you know her days well now some algorithms falter and waits and then that's gone when they now are and then i think that what artists an artistic creators can do is help us to see and feel what the experience of being marginalized looks like and to help us understand before we get so far that we discover this is happy. to us. what it is that we're doing by excluding certain people by creating artificial barriers that are not mediated by human contact some video artists have started using ai and

virtual reality themselves to offer a response the neuroscientist ashley baucus clark has created an installation with hyphen labs which puts users in the body of a black woman at a hair salon. and these are. many of these projects are about taking back the power and content protection showing everything from our perspective. what do we really associate with ai ashley and typhon labs is showing that vision of a future a very community based future. a future without discrimination and stereotypes can artificial intelligence help to make the world a better place. i don't think that we should be looking to ai to make the world together scary and this is something for. ai might be exacerbating some of the more

undesirable aspects of society but we humans can still change that. ai opens up all kinds of new dimensions and the adventure has just begun join us again next time on art's 21. the.
