Abstract
Artificial intelligence, being a reflection of collective thinking about our relationship with technologies, is present in many aspects of everyday life, although it is far from being autonomous. The work of artistic creativity concerning AI should endeavor to analyze and project the most fundamental aspects of the mediation of these technologies in society, and devote less attention to their aesthetic characteristics. The works selected here are an example of how art is capable of questioning the degree of autonomy of machines today and their real creative capacity, and of highlighting their relationships with social concerns such as power, information control, and other politically relevant issues, as well as their ability to project future problems.
