AI

The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Program focuses on arts-based AI research and participatory AI development for small organizations, cultural groups, and northern communities. It explores practical applications of artificial intelligence in the arts, including creative AI tools, community-led experimentation, and collaborative digital innovation that reflects local knowledge and priorities. The program emphasizes participatory AI research, ethical AI development, and accessible technology adoption, supporting organizations that are integrating AI into cultural programming, storytelling, and creative production. It also highlights capacity building for northern and rural communities, with a focus on digital inclusion, cultural sovereignty, and real-world use of AI in arts, education, and community-based projects.
