We dig into why generative AI has such extreme energy demands and how major tech companies are trying to rewrite climate accounting rules to cover how much their emissions are rising. AI isn’t just churning out visual slop; it’s also being used to transform how our society works and further reduce people’s power over their lives. It’s a disaster any way you look at it.

Tactics&Practice [podcast]The Future Behind Us | Ep. #8: Taming AI, Playing AI [w/ Sanela Jahić]
Can everything – including vision, flexibility, imagination and other skills often associated with creative practices – be turned into data? Should artists feel threatened by AIs that compose music, make animation movies or write novels? Or is there something intrinsically uncomputable in the artistic mind? Are predictive algorithms creators’ friends or foes? Can you automate artistic processes and gestures?
Artist Sanela Jahić collaborates with engineers, lecturers in creative and social computing as well as experts in health informatics to investigate workers’ subordination to machinery, the possible automation of artistic practices and the role of algorithms in the transition towards authorita...2024-08-2926 min

In deze aflevering delen we inzichten over haar duurzame reis, het belang van zero-waste mode, en haar inspanningen om bewustzijn te vergroten en positieve verandering te stimuleren. Amber's toewijding aan slow fashion, zero-waste ontwerpen, en haar inzet voor educatie tonen aan dat duurzaamheid niet alleen een principe is, maar een levenswijze die de weg wijst naar een betere, meer verantwoordelijke mode-industrie.

We don’t need to wait on the singularity for AI to become existential – the resistance starts now!
