This performance-talk examines the cultural politics of making our way 
through by attending to the materiality of shared life in AI times.

Artificial intelligence, which simulates human intelligence, has made significant advances thanks to Machine Learning and Deep Learning. Today, these &#8220;intelligences&#8221; are outperforming humans in many fields, although they lack morals and ethics. Generative AI, capable of creating original content, is revolutionizing various sectors, including design. During this presentation Étienne will be showing a number of projects using AI in design, and discovering how these AIs can help develop new ideas and forms, and improve the creative process.
