“In our play we reveal what kind of people we are.” ~ Ovid, circa 5 BCE
"AI at play is the spark of imagination meeting infinite possibilities, where machines don't just follow instructions—they explore, create, and learn through curiosity." ~ ChatGPT, circa now
Join us for Polymathic Pizza: A.I. at Play, featuring Holly Willis (Professor of Cinematic Arts, Chair - Media Arts & Practice Division) and Carsten Becker (Lecturer, Iovine & Young Academy). As Willis is the Co-Director of the Center for Generative AI and Society and Becker encourages his Iovine & Young students to “pursue new connections of technology with human expression and experience,” together they will guide a discussion on the wide scale availability of AI as a tool for imaginative and innovative production. Artist David Hockney wrote that "people tend to forget that play is serious." So come, enjoy some pizza, and engage these ‘polymathic thinker-tinkerers’ where we will explore the seriously playful capabilities of A.I. and how it can be used for our creative interests and futures.
