Meet BEING By Visiting Artist Rashaad Newsome

Multidisciplinary artist Rashaad Newsome envisions human-centered AI that expresses the best of humanity, unencumbered by the corrupting influence of systemic racism and oppression. He is the creator of “Being,” a social humanoid AI installation undefined by race or gender, which uses a combination of animation, game engines, generative grammars, scripted responses, and machine-learning models to actively engage with — and teach — humans.
