Synthesising visions: Ethical and aesthetic practices for audio-visual research in the era of AI

Dr Dario Llinares, Consultant and Cinematologist, will explore how audio-visual creative practices can engage with technological innovations to analyse, critique, and potentially redefine both the technology itself and its broader impacts.

The second of a series of events as part of AI Collaborations Series II. Reflections on the use of generative artificial intelligence in Higher Education.

From a creative research standpoint, AI software offers an opportunity to adopt a mindset of "critical ambivalence". Using this approach, Dr Dario Llinares will explore how audio-visual creative practices can engage with technological innovations to analyse, critique, and potentially redefine both the technology itself and its broader impacts. How might we, as creative practitioners, deploy theoretical and philosophical reflections on originality, interpretation, communication, and human experience, as the relationship between humans and machines continues to evolve?
