Colors of AI

ICCC Workshop | 18 June 2024

University of Jönköping, Sweden

About

AI is both colorful and white, it’s the bright neon colors of the fantasy scenes as well as the systematic whitening of the skin color. In this workshop, we wish to explore the colors in and of AI, spanning from the AI representation of colors in art and the palette of generative AI, to how AI promotes biases of colors in society and its imbalance among the creators of computer creative systems. The workshop is hands-on, striving for a creative environment where the different views and facets of colors in AI can be synthesized into collaborative creative writing and/or an artistic process. To allow more flexibility in developing a shared narrative around the colors of AI, we will accept participants based on abstract submissions.

Scope

We invite participants to freely interpret the “Colors of AI” concept and submit an abstract they consider suitable to the title. The suggestive workshop name allows a discussion of ideas from different fields and practices of AI taking the term “colors” as a starting point for reflection. Let your imagination run wild! Here are some options we thought of:
