The University of Bergen's Department of Design at the Faculty of Fine Art, Music and Design (KMD) has been selected to contribute to a new national centre focused on artificial intelligence (AI) and creativity. This centre brings together researchers, artists, and technologists to explore how AI can be integrated with creative processes.
The initiative encourages collaboration that blends AI technology with artistic practice. It focuses on developing new methods in design and art, while supporting innovative forms of creative expression.
KMD's Role and Contributions
KMD will participate through research projects, workshops, and educational programs. A key focus is on addressing the ethical dimensions of AI use in creative fields to ensure artistic integrity remains intact. The department also emphasizes fostering inclusivity within the creative community as AI tools become more common.
