2 Hello

3 Convergence

4 Convergence: before

5 Convergence: after The platform

6 Peak convergence Platform creates a feedback loop of innovation, where new business created around the combined features.

7 Peak convergence Eventually, everything we build ends up on the platform, a small square on a small screen. Excitement and innovation dries up, problems arise.

13 This is where AI comes in - AI has become a great way to use up money - Lots of serious business features are possible as a result

15 Artificial Intelligence, and AI

16 You know it when you see it Artificial intelligence (AI, also machine intelligence, MI) is intelligence exhibited by machines, rather than humans or other animals (natural intelligence, NI). In computer science, the field of AI research defines itself as the study of "intelligent agents": any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of success at some goal.[1]colloquially, the term "artificial intelligence" is applied when a machine mimics "cognitive" functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as "learning" and "problem solving".[2]

17 Or rather These days, computers have their own shit going on.

18 The Emerging AI Stack - Big data - Algorithms - Machine learning - Voice interface - Visual recognition - Bots

19 Everything s an AI now Lots of grey area when it comes to implementation of AI: - Chat bots are AI for customer support - Voic is AI for missed calls? - Keyboard suggestions are AI for conversations?

20 Meanwhile There s a conversation happening where people are talking about AI in stark terms, and how we talk about AI is where things become problematic.

32 Leila Johnston Post deception digital - I haven t seen very much digital art that critiques the imagery, or questions the folklore around digital culture s presentation of AI. - Art should be the expression that s possible when there is no boss [ ] just because something comes out of an algorithm looking a bit arty, doesn t mean our work has already been done.

33 The hard problem - AI can have a real, positive impact on our lives, if we stop focussing on the robot apocalypse - Especially when we can only build what we imagine, and currently that is war, utility and work. - Fundamentally, we need to build more useless things

47 Making Ara - As a maker, not everything I build should end up as a small square on a small screen - Unbundle the convergence, make her useless - Software is easy, hardware is difficult - Backlog of orders to fulfil already

Post Ara - Ara taught me about trying to give technology a soul/thinking of technology in that way, and expand our AI vocabulary - Can we find a way to create liveables, habitables, rather than

49 Post Ara - Ara taught me about trying to give technology a soul/thinking of technology in that way, and expand our AI vocabulary - Can we find a way to create liveables, habitables, rather than wearables and assistants? - I think we can, so I m building a table that dreams - Furniture is silent, passive, part of our lives, let s give it a voice. - Good space to experiment with AI, rather than death and destruction.

50 What s our goal? - Not about building the great AI-with-emotions (that will doom us all), it s about creating AI using our emotions
