Prior to this class, I had never generated an image using AI.  DALL-E was geoblocked in Vietnam, and I wasn\u2019t particularly interested in the idea until OpenAI released the first round of Sora videos a couple months ago.  I immediately wondered what might happen if someone created a deepfake of Putin and Zelensky shaking hands on a peace treaty at the UN assembly, or an Alien invasion on a non-descript residential community. I decided I would try and create them. Much to my dismay, the Sora technology isn\u2019t available to the general public, but was released rather as an insight into the capacity of these AI tools today, in an attempt to foster discussion for our collective future.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I began this course on critical inquiry and the timing is serendipitous.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With endless possibilities comes endless legal and ethical considerations<\/a>.  From Intellectual Property (IP)<\/a> and copyright<\/a>, to plagiarism and authorship<\/a>, to bias and discrimination<\/a>, or misinformation and propaganda<\/a>, there is no shortage of issues to explore.   As Reid Hoffman states in a video interview with his AI clone<\/a>, \u201cIf everything that was coming out about AI was utopic, nirvanic, and amazing I would of course be adding in some of these questions and concerns.  The problem is the vast majority of the people who are talking about this are only talking about the risks, not talking about the things that could be so amazing\u201d.  My curiosity is fuelled more by creativity<\/a> and human agency<\/a> than focusing on the fear of the unknown, and the shortcomings of a genie that\u2019s not going back in the bottle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that spirit, I present a gallery of art generated by AI on Canva using the very same prompt \u201cHuman creativity and agency in the digital age of AI\u201d <\/strong>using various styles, displayed in alphabetical order.\u00a0 Some are arguably better than others, but they\u2019re all interesting to me.\u00a0 Enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
