Ascenti: Humans Opening to AI features a lineup of “Creatives” — humans in the cultural industries who specialize in visual art, writing (prose, poetry, and playwriting), photography, audiobook performance, sound design, and videogames. They experiment with AI by making original works within their respective artistic mediums, inspiring an AI program(s) to generate works based on prompts derived from their original creations, and then evaluating and contextualizing the AI-generated output. They demonstrate AI’s potential to enhance their original works, or ways AI helps them overcome visual or other challenges. Alternatively, participants may express the downsides of AI.
