Book
Reality was whatever happened : Octavia Butler AI and other possible worlds / Beth Coleman ; guest contributors: JJJJJerome Ellis [and 3 others].
Reality Was Whatever Happened: Butler AI and other Possible Worlds is an art exhibition and book inspired by Octavia Butler's 1980 Xenogenesistrilogy. Beth Coleman has designed an AI system that prompts us to reconsider race (human and alien), cognition and computability. In light of the recent conversations on AI, bias, and societal harms, Coleman uses a speculative lens to imagine alternative futures. The use of generative modeling, unsupervised learning, and curated data sets escape the regime of classification, framing Coleman's conversation about contemporary AI-driven artistic practices and ethics in AI.
