Description
Second in the programme of presentations of research articles in the "Ethical Implications of AI Hype" edition of the AI and Ethics Journal is Dr Jenn Chubb, lecturer in sociology at the University of York. She presents the research from her article 'Establishing counterpoints in the sonic framing of AI narratives, written with colleague Professor David Beer In order to challenge dominant representations and conceptions of artificial intelligence (AI).This article explores how AI is sonically represented in documentaries. Using a corpus of documentaries alongside expert interviews with sound designers, they explore the ways in which music and sound may influence perception about AI. The notion of ‘counterpoint’ in music theory is developed as a concept to capture and explain how the integrated dynamics of human/machines are represented within these sonic framings. The concept of the counterpoint allows us to reflect on how the relations between AI and the human and how they are sonically framed in ways that separate and blend without recourse to reductive or binary futures, which potentially misrepresent AI capabilities and performance. This article provides a framework from which AI could be sonically framed responsibly, which is critical when misinformation and hype impede the public understanding of science.
