KIM HfG

The research group on artificial intelligence and media philosophy KIM (in German: Künstliche Intelligenz und Medienphilosophie) at the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design is a space where students of art, philosophy and computer science meet and explore the impact of AI on society and culture.

Whereas AI is emerging as hegemonic paradigm for the automation of complex creative tasks (from self-driving cars to text translation, from music composition to market predictions), a critique and ethics of AI is still missing. Confronting the rapid rise of AI industries, humanities and art institutions should  take the role of exploring the limits of such technologies and question their normalisation of collective intelligence and aesthetics.
