Network for Artificial Intelligence, the Arts, the Digital Economy and Society (NAIADES)

Description

The Network for Artificial Intelligence, the Arts, the Digital Economy and Society (NAIADES) is a research network in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Swansea University. By creating an open platform for social scientists, arts and humanities researchers and digital experts, it facilitates multi- and trans-disciplinary research projects that explore the human and societal impact and implications of artificial intelligence and emerging digital technologies. The network convenes arts and humanities researchers, social scientists, creative practitioners, producers and writers for regular networking and member events. With close ties to the Zienkiewicz Institute for Modelling, Data and AI in the Faculty of Science and Engineering, it enables collaborative, inter- and trans-disciplinary partnerships across disciplines. It provides practical advice on understanding and harnessing AI and offers introductions to potential research partners. Its key areas of interest include using new research methods and data-driven approaches to examine historical and contemporary social realities; studying how AI affects society, including ethics and governance; and applying and critically analysing generative AI in education, the arts and creative practices.
