Responsible AI Projects
Project ArcaiArt - ‘Responsible use of AI in the creation, archiving, reactivation and conservation of artworks and their archives’ - is led by Dr Lydia Farina at the Department of Philosophy, with co-investigators based in 糖心原创, Coventry University, the University of Exeter, Goldsmiths, London South Bank University, the University of Dundee, and the National Archives.
This demonstrator generates key new knowledge on responsible innovation and creativity when AI is used to create, document, reactivate and conserve artworks and their archives. The project will explore how using AI could resolve what are now considered insurmountable challenges for archives and museums tasked with documenting and preserving often-mutable, complex and hybrid artworks in their collections in perpetuity.
