The Artists Make Technology cohort, funded with the Doris Duke Foundation, meets to discuss artists' role in shaping AI and its policy.

The Mozilla Foundation and the Doris Duke Foundation are bringing the 20 projects of their first Artists Make Technology cohort together in Detroit on 13 November, Mozilla announced. The 40 artists and creative technologists, picked from nearly 400 applicants, work across AI, robotics, immersive performance and spatial audio.

The gathering at Michigan Central includes talks on community-led technology and the role of artists in shaping AI policy, with representatives from Lincoln Center, Americans for the Arts and Omidyar Network. "We do not want to live in the imagination of a few people in Silicon Valley," said Mozilla Foundation's Ziyaad Bhorat.

The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
