ABOUT MACHINE AGENCIES:

Machine Agencies is an experiment between human and machine intelligences. We are a collection of researchers investigating artificial intelligence technologies, the culture of AI development, and AI’s social, political, and environmental consequences. We encourage cooperation and play, resisting the antagonism of more instrumental approaches of AI. Our members are working on fascinating projects that bridge the gaps between engineering, artistic creation, academic debate, policy development, and public discourse.

Machine Agencies is part of the Speculative Life Cluster at the Milieux Institute for Arts, Culture and Technology at Concordia University in Montreal. Machine Agencies draws on research supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.
