Fantastic paper which captures so much of what I have also found deeply problematic behind the misplaced narratives on the promises of GenAI in education. Absolute must read.

By drawing on moralism debate in philosophy of art and the argument from the imaginative resistance, I offer conditions under which we can find value in AI generated art, despite our moral objections to AI.

Is #AIart really art? The end of art? Bad art? I explore how artistic exploitation, data bias and environmental cost can prevent us from engaging with AI art. Yet, I argue that artists can employ this immorality well, helping us overcome our imaginative resistance. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Should environmental interests feature in the development and deployment of #AI ? Can feminism inform our answers to this question? At the Rosalind Franklin Women in STEM Conference I look into what a promising Integrated Environmental AI Ethics could look like 💚@newnhamcollege.bsky.social
