Creative AI Lab

Description

Since 2019 the Creative AI Lab has been a space for long-term research by  Serpentine Arts Technologies and the  King’s College London Department of Digital Humanities into artistic practices (and their attendant collaborators) working with AI/ML.

By focusing on the ‘back-end’ environment of artistic production, the Lab uses artistic practice and prototyping to speculate about systemic impacts of emerging tools, systems and infrastructures both within the arts & humanities but also, importantly, in terms of wider public interest. Tool entries after 2023 are evaluated in their description, based on the core criteria of transparency, creative malleability, technical interoperability, calibre of research, and propensity to redistribute [ read more about these here]. Taken together, these criteria assess how a tool might fit into an ever-evolving ecosystem of critically-engaged technologies. This evaluation aims to keep users informed about the range of possibility each tool offers, alongside the externalities it brings to their working practice, the wider creative community and the public. It will inform future research from the Lab in 23-24 into the public value of artistic practice that engages with AI.
