Diid disegno industriale (2023). Vol. 80

"In the nexus of design and Artificial Intelligence (AI), the convergence of ethical, political, and creative facets demands a decentralized approach guided by data justice and posthumanism. As AI’s reach expands into societal and environmental spheres, the imperative is not neutral but deeply entangled with socio-political contexts and power structures. The shift from tech-centricity to collective needs dovetails with the urgency for non-anthropocentric design, particularly with autonomous agents. This global perspective challenges “for good” narratives and raises questions about digital colonialism, while artistic experiments redefine the boundaries of creativity and aesthetics, compelling a holistic reevaluation of design’s role in AI’s multifaceted impact."
