Imaginative Landscape of AI: Interview with Audrey Tang

As part of project P1 on pioneer communities within the “Communicative AI” research unit, interviews are currently being conducted to capture the ‘imaginative landscape of AI’ in the San Francisco Bay Area (Silicon Valley) and the greater Berlin area. By ‘imaginative landscape of AI,’ we mean the entirety of visions, positions, and conflicts seen in relation to AI—especially the relatively novel ones that have developed in relationship to this emerging technology. The ‘imaginative landscape of AI’ is not just about the technological side but about broader concepts and ideas for the future of communications and society with AI, as well as possible dangers for humans. The current ‘imaginative landscape of AI’ is anything but uniform; it is fragmented, diverse, ideologized and highly contradictory. 

One of our interviews was with Audrey Tang; it has already been published online (in English and Mandarin) and can be found at the following links:
