We build coalitions to help creative communities shape uses of AI

AI is transforming creative industries, impacting everyone from gig-economy freelancers to seasoned professionals. The Lab for AI & Creative Labor explores how AI is reshaping these fields and how individuals in design, writing, and music will experience significant changes in their working practices.

We advance this work through a combination of research, experimentation, and coalition building: partnering with collaborators to conduct creative research studies on AI’s social, cultural, and technical impacts; developing experimental tools and methods that allow artists, designers, and researchers to critically engage AI systems in practice; and convening coalitions of artists, technologists, and scholars through public programs that collectively shape norms around labor, authorship, and the production of knowledge.
