Dave McKean: Art or Artifice

AI is here, it’s not going anywhere and it will change, or disrupt, everything. But like all technological changes, there will be losses as well as gains, and Dave McKean fears the loss this time will cut to the essential sense of ourselves, why we do what we do. He thinks it’s time to start defining what is the scope we will allow AI to make the most of its possibilities, and what ethical and territorial boundaries should exist to mitigate against the worst of the collateral damage.
