Artificial intelligence is no longer just a technical breakthrough—it’s a civilizational moment, and artists are asking crucial questions about its implications.
On the heels of our video HOW TO SEE LIKE A MACHINE, we continue to delve into the ways in which artists continue to confront and use AI as the technology rapidly advances. In this video, HOW TO SEE THE HUMAN IN THE MACHINE, we are again joined by some of the foremost thinkers and creators in the field. In this wide-ranging conversation, the “godmother of AI” Fei-Fei Li, who leads Stanford University’s Human-Centered AI Institute, Berlin-based artists Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst, and MoMA curators Michelle Kuo and Paola Antonelli explore how AI is reshaping society, art, and ethics, and discuss what it means to center humanity within the conversation. From data responsibility and consent to generative music, voice models, spatial intelligence, and participatory AI, this video examines how intelligence emerges between people—not just inside machines.
“I do believe human intelligence and machine intelligence manifest in very different ways. We not only survive, live, work, but we emote, we feel, we have compassion, we have creativities that we don’t know how to explain,” explains Fei-Fei Li. “Machines don’t have independent values. Machine values are human values. And to think about what human-centered AI is, is to think about what we want this AI to do for us.”
