Congratulations to New Media's Parker Gray, Katie Fletcher, and Nathan and Ryan Mendes on their acceptance into the 2025 Student Symposium, with projects ranging from social and political campaigns to enigmatic tales of Maine lighthouses!
I found this presentation by @jonippolito at last week's Maine Town Meeting fascinating [and enlightening]- as did the audience. AI fakery isn't the only way AI can interfere with applied democracy- it's not even the most likely way. It'll probably be more subtle. See his🧵⬇️
Deep-faked images often make headlines, but AI’s threat to elections goes deeper. As demonstrated in this recording of last week's talk "Bots, Ballots, and You," generative AI tools arm saboteurs with more subtle ways to destabilize democracy blog.still-water.net/ai-threat-to-e… 1/3 🐘♻️
Understanding the history of new media helps prepare us for their future.
At yesterday's AI town hall @MichaelSocolow argued that new media have always disrupted politics, from the penny press/telegraph to radio/TV. Now that social media have prioritized confirmation bias over persuasion, will voters be less likely to question AI-generated fakery?
Faculty from our New Media program and UMaine's Journalism department tackle the important question of how to prevent AI-created disinformation from derailing the upcoming elections in this "AI Town Hall"
With AI reshaping the contours of political discourse, veteran journalist and media historian @michaelsocolow and I lead the 2024 Maine Town Meeting on AI's influence in a crucial election year. The Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center hosts this Friday. 🐘♻️docs.google.com/forms/d/1Kyin5…
We are very excited to have Christiane Paul, arguably the world's foremost expert on digital art, talking to our faculty and students today about the impact of AI in creative people!
I was a Guggenheim media curator for 15 years, and I still find it easier to name all the digital art exhibitions NOT curated by Christiane Paul than keep track of all of hers. So excited to join her in conversation about AI art Tuesday at 4:30pm EDT blog.still-water.net/digital-curati… 🐘♻️
Sure, you tried using generative AI to create an email and maybe even a picture of a corgi with a sombrero. But in this talk @nmdjohn reveals the disruptive—and potentially democratizing—impact AI is having on 3d modeling, animation, games, and XR nmdprojects.net/teleconference…
UMaine New Media + Computer Science just wrapped a 4-month experiment comparing AI with traditional digital methods in creative tasks. From essay writing to game design, 50 of my students tested AI's capabilities head-to-head with conventional tools blog.still-water.net/ai-versus-old-… 🧵1/7
* Can AI models be tricked into bad behavior? * Will generative AI plateau? * Can deepfakes be stopped? * Why the deformed hands? An entertaining Q&A with AI artist @e_salvaggio is now online in an interactive recording at: nmdprojects.net/teleconference… HT @nmdnet
