Who A(m) I? What are our rights and responsibilities when it comes to our literal selves?
Artists and academics rebel against AI using our work, our language, our voices, our images for training and also for output. The DNA database, 23andMe just declared bankruptcy and a new owner might actually own our DNA. We are frequently asked to prove that we are humans and not robots when we try to access certain web sites. Yet, we are not just our DNA; who we are is also a result of our lives and formative experiences.
The symposium will explore ways in which we become and remain uniquely us.
