call for content: arts in the wake of ai

culture360.ASEF.org welcomes proposals from writers to contribute articles, podcasts and video interviews for its latest open call 'Arts in the Wake of AI'. We are looking for content that foreground how cultural professionals and organisations are adapting to the spectrum of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. 

The arts and cultural sector is caught in the grips of another existential shift: the widespread adoption of AI, spanning generative tools, machine learning, recommender systems, and algorithms. 

Artists, cultural practitioners and professionals from across Asia and Europe are working with AI in a multitude of capacities. The synergy between an artist’s creativity and AI technologies has resulted in transformations in how we collaborate, innovate, produce and disseminate works. In that regard, how AI has been adopted to diversify artistic styles, formats and practices needs no further explanation. 

This shift has however triggered new reflections and threats relating to cultural diversity, artistic rights, protection and recognition of artistic works, fair remuneration and more. How we are choosing to navigate the inevitable progression of AI, while balancing the ethical, social and legal trade-offs surrounding the intersection of creativity and technology, is thus at the heart of the debate.
