Fictional Abstracts: Ethics, Sustainability, and Creative-AI Futures

Description

There has been an increasing interest in discussing implications of technologies for computational creativity in terms of ethics and sustainability. This workshop brings such questions into focus in the specific context of Creative-AI systems by exploring questions of ethics and sustainability through the use of Fictional Abstracts. We use Fictional Abstracts to cast forward 15 years to 2038 to imagine the future of Creative-AI, and reflect on how we got there. By writing Fictional Abstracts – abstracts of research papers yet to be written – we will unpick critical tensions in the advancement of computational creativity over the next decades. The workshop invites participants to develop perspectives and sensitivities on the futures of AI-enabled computational creativity and to critically reflect on the assumptions, methods, and tools for enabling (and disabling) such futures, with a particular focus on questions of ethics and sustainability.
