Open Tools, Open Questions: Teaching AI in Creative Practice
DescriptionThis talk introduces Machine Learning for Artists and Designers, a course at NYU Shanghai that makes machine learning accessible to students without technical backgrounds. Working in the browser with p5.js, ml5.js, and custom tools for language, image, and embodied AI, students explore both how these systems work and what they mean culturally. Examples of student projects illustrate how creative practice can engage AI critically, playfully, and reflectively.
