AI in interactive technology — Conversations about AI

Concept

Alexandra Chalmers Braithwaite is researcher and interactive code designer. In this video, I have edited key ideas from a two-hour interview about how she feels towards AI image generation technology, using the visual metaphor of a box.

As a research practitioner, Alexandra’s box expands outside of it. The box expands outwards because the concept of networking both within the algorithm as a system and outside as a social activity is central to Alexandra's design perspective.
