MILAN.- Fondazione Prada announces that Kate Crawford joined its Steering Committee, which operates in close contact with the President and Director Miuccia Prada, and the Fondazione’s team. Its main task is to identify the most stimulating research areas to develop multidisciplinary projects that resonate with contemporary cultural debates.
Uncover the Hidden Costs of AI: Buy Kate Crawford's "Atlas of AI" and understand the true impact of artificial intelligence.
Kate Crawford is an internationally leading scholar of AI and its impacts. She is a Professor at the University of Southern California in LA, a Senior Principal Researcher at MSR New York, and the inaugural visiting chair of AI and Justice at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris. She founded multiple research centers around the world, and leads the interdisciplinary lab called Knowing Machines. Her award-winning book, Atlas of AI, has been translated into twelve languages, won three international prizes, and was named a best book of the year by The Financial Times and New Scientist. She has advised policymakers in the White House, the European Parliament, and the United Nations, and is currently a member of the AI Council of President Sanchez of Spain. She was named in the inaugural TIME100 list of the most influential people in AI. In addition to her scholarly work, Crawford's artworks and visual collaborations have been exhibited at over a hundred museums worldwide, and feature in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), and the Design Museum in London. Crawford conceived two exhibitions for Fondazione Prada, both on view at the Osservatorio: “Training Humans” with Trevor Paglen in 2019 and “Calculating Empires: A Genealogy of Technology and Power, 1500-2025” with Vladan Joler in 2023. “Calculating Empires” won the European Commission's Grand Prize for work that spans the arts, science, and technology, and will be shown at the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale.
The Steering Committee also comprises Giuliana Bruno, Emmet Blakeney Gleason Professor of Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard University; Theaster Gates, artist, activist, and Professor at the University of Chicago in the Department of Visual Arts; Alejandro González Iñárritu, film director, screenwriter, and film producer; Salvatore Settis, archaeologist, art historian, and Professor Emeritus at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa. Each committee member contributes to an intense theoretical discussion based on their expertise and background: from education and visual studies (Giuliana Bruno) to science and technology studies (Kate Crawford), and from social practices (Theaster Gates) to cinema and visual languages (Alejandro González Iñárritu) and dialogues between cultures (Salvatore Settis).
