Trying to get better at getting better

Sometime in 2021 I put together a short video describing my thinking around the relationship between human beings and the development of artificial intelligence. The video was part of an unsuccessful application but I thought it might still be interesting enough to share here.

The video describes some of the ways in which I see human cultural, political, ethical, and social values being entwined with machine learning algorithms. I can’t see how either human or machine learning development can move forward and not engage in a reckoning with the other. Our futures – human and AI – are deeply entangled and any attempt to address one without a consideration of the other is bound to fall short of the best version of what’s possible.

Note that the music and artwork in the video were all generated by machine learning algorithms.
