If you think artists (like choreographers and dancers) will be the last to be affected (read: taken out) by AI, this episode is for you. Thanks to my work with the Choreographers Guild, I am learning a lot about artificial intelligence and what it means for dancers and choreographers. This week, I’m sharing (almost) everything I’ve learned so the dance community can have an empowered voice in the conversation about AI. We get into terminology, some heartening news, some scary potential futures, and I demystify AI concepts with the help of dance world metaphors… YAY!
