A Glimpse Into the Burgeoning World of AI Arts and Media

Immerse on 2022-02-11

A compilation of reports and projects created by the signatories and community members who signed our public statement

In early October, the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy filed a federal document to seek public comments about a proposed AI “bill of rights” that would develop new measures to safeguard against harms caused by the use of facial recognition and other biometric AI technologies to identify people or assess their character. The Alliance for Media Arts + Culture and Immerse decided to join together to submit a public statement on behalf of and with their communities. We first created an open call for comments and then we drafted a public statement based on these comments and held a second open call for signatures and projects. We have published our public statement that we submitted to the Office of Science, with signatures. Below is a companion list of reports and projects created by members of our communities that use or address AI technologies.
