Co-curated by USC Vice Provost for the Arts Josh Kun and renowned contemporary artist Cai Guo-Qiang, Beyond the Human?: From the Metaphysical to the Physical is a daylong symposium that explores the impact of AI on the arts. Speakers and performers will explore questions including:
> What is the role of the artist in a computational future?
> What are the promises and perils of AI’s expansion of what it means to be human?
> What is AI’s potential for moving us beyond human exceptionalism into realms of inter-species and inter-materialist consciousness?
> Can AI move us beyond a singular self?
> How does AI impact our sense of the physical?
> How does AI imagine and enact the metaphysical?
> How can artists use AI to build new worlds?
