Main Project Brief
Ultimately, the outcomes of the module will envision ways of living with AI that empower rather than diminish the agency of individuals and communities. We approach the topic with prototypes and design interventions that leverage our technical skills and designerly perspective, while avoiding the tendencies of technological solutionism. The actual format of the end results will be developed through in-class discussions and steering meetings.
Objectives:
Reflect on AI's Impact: Investigate the current and potential implications of AI on democratic and political processes, considering issues such as privacy, bias, polarisation and social and behavioural manipulation.
Explore Spatial Dynamics: Explore how physical public spaces are being reshaped by AI and how the future might be reimagined using AI to foster inclusivity, civic engagement, greater awareness or critical thinking on the topic.
Prototype Experimental Futures: Create tangible prototypes and/or interventions that embody new ways of living with AI in public spaces and in democratic processes. Record your results extensively with photos, video and audio.
