The Multiverse of Critical Thinking Radical AI

Lecture by Razvan Ion

Imagine an AI coded by James Baldwin, Harvey Milk, and Frederic Jameson. Drawing upon queer theory, analyses of socially marginalised communities, and contemporary art curation, the talk offers a multifaceted examination of AI's societal implications. The keynote explores the concept of artificial intelligence, challenging conventional narratives and foster a nuanced understanding of AI's role in shaping our cultural landscape.

Dr R?zvan Ion is a university professor of critical thinking, journalist, academic curator, and tech queer activist. He has lead the DerAffe Vienna team in creating A.I. JARVIS, the first artificial intelligence curator in history and has founded GAY45.eu, an award-winning European queer indie journal and queer journalism school. 

The event, curated by Camilla Salvaneschi and Angela Vettese, is part of the Salotto Longhena project, a collaboration between Università Iuav and Museo Ca' Pesaro.
