Are we confused with AI? Conversation about people's relationship with artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence, as a technology, has brought about a paradigm shift for humanity in the ways we produce things, but also in the ways social and cultural relationships are formed. AI is beginning to be used for tasks that can be automated due to their monotonous or repetitive nature, but also for creative activities, such as generating ideas for a work of art. It is even being used in more complex fields, such as psychological support or recommending what clothes to wear. Aspects of the culture that represent us are now being suggested by ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence tools.

In this podcast discussion, «No somos bots» (We Are Not Bots), we will talk with Marga Padilla, computer engineer and programmer, and Elisenda Ardèvol, PhD in Sociocultural Anthropology, whose research explores the intersection of visual, digital and media anthropology. The discussion will be hosted by Andrea Kropman, anthropologist and social communicator, and coordinator of the ICA's Digital Anthropology and Ethnography Group.

Organised by: Institut Català d'Antropologia (ICA) and Canòdrom.
