We want to group Ideas and discussions around reclaiming AI for the humanities around three key dimensions:

- AI and free will
- AI aesthetics: Looking at the work of art in the age of its technical producability.
2. The practice of AI
- AI ethics: Towards policies, regulations, and laws
- AI design: Shaping things with generative systems
- AI art: Artists use AI and respond to its challenges
- AI and languages: Natural language processing, machine translation, text generation
- AI and the creative industry: The economy and challenges of generative creativity
3. The future of AI
- Speculating about the future, taking perspective from science fiction, speculative design, and strategic foresight:
What was, what will become … imagining a century of AI
