I’m Eryk Salvaggio, a researcher and artist examining the social and cultural impacts of artificial intelligence through my creative misuse of AI. My work examines the transformation of archives into datasets for AI training as a way to expose the underlying ideologies of technology and to confront the gaps between datasets and the worlds, bodies, and minds they claim to represent.
I write a weekly newsletter with a critical perspective on AI: sign up here.
