New research-y project: Blueprints for Intelligence, a visual history of artificial neural networks from 1943 to 2020 philippschmitt.com/blueprints-for…

Jodi Forlizzi of CMU Human-Computer Interaction Institute: We should think of AI like fire - “If we manage it well, it will be a global force for good. But without foresight, AI will burn in ways that we cannot control.”

Woo hoo! My book, Cyborg, co-authored with @allergyPhD, now has a placeholder page on the MIT Press site: mitpress.mit.edu/9780262547550/…. I can't wait to share the book with you early next year!!

Inspiring way to look at it

"We see AI as providing scaffolding to the piece rather than taking on the role of an interactive scenography." Sarah Fdili Alaoui, who is a reader at CCI, is choreographing at the National Dance Center in Bucharest on a piece called "For Patricia" cndb.ro/en/new_events/…

Kicking off my talk at the The Alan Turing Institute shortly! 😀 So happy to be speaking as part of this project.
