This seminar is part of the series ‘Interdisciplinary Perspectives on AI & Culture’ organized by Claudio Celis Bueno and Nanne van Noord. The aim of this series is to bring humanities scholars and computer scientists to the table to exchange critical perspectives on the intersections between AI and culture. In this session Isadora Campregher Paiva and Dimitris Tzionas will discuss the effects of so-called generative AI for creative labour. Using the case studies of 3D scene analysis and reconstruction, and the writers’ and actors’ strikes in Hollywood, these talks will delve into the technical, cultural, and political implications of AI-powered tools. They will examine questions such as: how can these systems understand, formalize, and model increasingly complex cases of expressive and interacting humans? And how can we navigate the complexities of creative labour in the age of AI?
