As AI technologies evolve at an unprecedented pace, it is crucial to understand their long-term impact on sustainability and policy issues to ensure they benefit society as a whole. As AI has the power to transform industries, economies, culture and social structures, it is essential to integrate sustainability and ethical governance at the core of AI development and implementation. In the framework of DAHSS24, we will explore key issues, including the cultural and environmental impact of AI technologies, ethical considerations in AI development, and the governance frameworks needed to regulate these developments. Accordingly, DAHSS24 will focus on the fundamental question: How can AI be governed at the global level to enhance transparency, sustainability, equity and accountability? Furthermore, it will examine how the fields of Digital Art History and the Digital Humanities in general can contribute to these goals.
The sessions aim to stimulate discussions and provide critical insights as participants learn technical skills and discuss computational methodologies. The course is organised around tracks. Each participant can only participate in one of the tracks. During the registration process, they must select the track in the order of their preference.
Track A: Visual AI for Visual Culture, directed by Leonardo Impett (University of Cambridge).
Track B: Art on the Web: Creating Cultural Heritage Knowledge Networks, directed by Edward Anderson (RisjkMuseum)
Track C: Cartographies of Humanities, directed by Iacopo Neri (Digital Visual Studies - Max Plack / University of Zurich and Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia - IAAC).
Track D: The Archive Makes the Image, directed by Eryk Salvaggio (researcher and artist)
Keynote speaker: Maria Giulia Dondero (Directrice de recherches du Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique-FNRS, Professor at the Université de Liège)
