During this talk Pablo will explore his latest project Bestiario Americano (American Bestiary) where he uses artificial intelligence to question reality and the symbols we use to talk about it. With this he’s generating a portrait of contemporary America while conjuring beings that perhaps only exist in a parallel dimension.
After his talk, Pablo will be joined by Santiago Lyon of Adobe’s Content Authenticity Initiative. Here, they will discuss AI’s impact on the world of photography and Adobe’s CAI efforts to combat mis/disinformation by creating and implementing the open-source industry standard for determining the provenance, or origins, of digital file types.
