How do we deal with a potential future in which schools, the government and corporations have access to our children’s brainwave data? It may sound like a far-off dystopia, but a version of this is already happening in places like China, where brainwave sensors have been used to monitor the attention levels of students. “If kids are already facing disapproval for daydreaming — their attention waning during tasks at hand — and reading thoughts is on the plausible technological horizon, it’s not difficult to imagine a chilling effect on our children’s imaginations,” says Jessica Grose, an Opinion writer. “We need to push back now, before young people relinquish the privacy of their mental data, their thoughts, without reading the fine print of some obscure user agreement, the way many in my generation did with social media platforms. Our children deserve freedom of movement and of interiority. I want us to make sure we preserve that before it’s too late.” #dystopia #AI #surveillance #booktok #nytopinion

We wanted to hear more opinions and personal stories from people who have worked closely with A.I., so we sought out and spoke with five practitioners who have used the technology in very different ways. As you listen to the participants speak, watch the A.I. paint their answers as it visualizes and morphs between concepts. The generated imagery reveals its appetite for cliché, its eager mimicry of artistic style and its infamous difficulty with drawing fingers. It also reveals a reliance on racialized motifs, demonstrating the very concerns that the artist Stephanie Dinkins and the ethicist Rumman Chowdhury raise. Watching A.I. perform its process of generation helps reveal something about the nature of the beast.
