Slide says "From Bars to Bytes" 1. Hip Hop, at it's core, is a technoscientific art form and cultural practice. 2. Hip Hop is a site of technological innovation primarily driven by the artistic practices of people of color. 3. The concept of authenticity functions as a useful cultural heuristic that defines the limit of technology. 4. Within Hip Hop, technology, specifically AI, is a tool that can aid in author (lyrics), producer (sounds), artists (performances), and is not something that will supplant the author, producer, or artist. 5> Positing AI as a tool that may extend human creativity and not replace it can potentially move people away from the unproductive polarities of irrational exhuberance and damning pessimism about AI. As a result, Hip Hop can tell us a great deal about the processes by which societies and cultures should interweave technologies, like AI, into our existence.
Rayvon Fouché discusses the concept of Hip Hop as he is framing his discussion. #msuglobaldh #dh
