Stephanie Dinkins is a transmedia artist and Kusama Endowed Chair in Art at Stony Brook University. She creates experiences that spark dialog about race, gender, aging, and our future histories. Her work in AI and other mediums uses emerging technologies and social collaboration to work toward technological ecosystems based on care and social equity. Dinkins’s experiments with AI have led full circle to recognizing the stories, myths, and cultural perspectives we hold (a.k.a. data) form and inform society and have done so for millennia. She has concluded that our stories are our algorithms. We must value, grow, respect, and collaborate with each other’s stories (data) to build care and broadly compassionate values into the technological ecosystems that increasingly support our future.
