AI vs. nature: Lily McCraith in conversation with Sara Polak

Lily McCraith is a London-based designer, researcher and creative technologist working around the realms of artificial intelligence, computing, and design. During autumn 2021, she was in Prague for her artist residency at the Research and Innovation Centre on Advanced Industrial Production (RICAIP) hosted and coordinated by CIIRC CTU as a fellow of the Goethe-Institut's Artificial Intelligence Residency Programme. During her stay, she aimed to exploit the potential of artificial intelligence in the context of its influence on our planet, exploring its role in tackling global problems while critically assessing its energy burden at the same time.
