Craft in Culture: What about the ethics of AI?
For craftspeople and creatives, whose skills have been honed carefully and exhaustively over hours, weeks, and years, AI is not the most welcome bedfellow. Recent ripples of progress have shown how AI is stepping into the creative process, transforming processes, speeding up systems and helping human creativity to scale new heights. The opportunities and implications ahead are massive, and no one knows quite what the future holds.
