A major international exhibition exploring how artists challenge the power dynamics behind artificial intelligence. Who really holds the power when AI enters our lives?
AI and the Paradox of Agency showcases artworks by 19 international artists and artist groups, from interactive games and immersive installations to sculptures and a hand-painted textile read by a drone. The exhibition reveals the critical role artists play in questioning how society might adapt to new technologies and in shaping humanity's thinking about a future with AI.
