The integration of AI in performance art introduces “non-human performers” that can interact with human dancers, creating a novel and captivating experience for audiences. This fusion can push the boundaries of traditional dance and performance, enabling new forms of expression and creativity. AI’s ability to learn and adapt in real-time can lead to performances that are dynamic and responsive, enhancing the artistic experience.
Targeted Industry Sector:
The performing arts sector, including theater, dance companies, and live entertainment, will be the primary beneficiaries. This industry is continuously seeking innovative ways to attract and engage audiences.
Evidence of Impact:
- Audience Engagement Metrics: Collect data on audience size, engagement levels, and feedback before and after introducing AI into performances.
- Critical Reviews and Awards: Track the recognition received from critics and industry awards.
- Collaborations and Funding: Note increased interest and funding from art councils, grants, and partnerships with tech companies.
PUBLIC: Paradigm Shift in AI Perception
Expanded Proposition:
Shifting the public’s perception of AI from being a mere tool or imitator to an expressive entity with its own creative potential. This project aims to demonstrate the unique expressive powers of AI, challenging preconceived notions and fostering appreciation for AI’s distinct way of thinking.
Targeted Industry Sector:
Public engagement and education sectors, including museums, educational institutions, and public art installations.
Evidence of Impact:
- Public Surveys and Feedback: Collect data on public perceptions of AI before and after exposure to AI-integrated performances.
- Media Coverage: Analyze the extent and nature of media coverage, noting changes in discourse around AI.
- Educational Programs: Track the development and uptake of educational programs and workshops inspired by the project.
SCIENCE/MEDICINE: New Era of Care Services
Expanded Proposition:
Using AI to interpret psychological states through non-verbal cues can revolutionize care services for individuals who struggle with verbal communication, such as those with certain neurological conditions or disabilities. This technology can enhance the ability to provide personalized care and improve quality of life.
Targeted Industry Sector:
Healthcare and assistive technology sectors, particularly those focusing on mental health, elderly care, and support for individuals with disabilities.
Evidence of Impact:
- Clinical Trials and Studies: Conduct and publish results from studies demonstrating the effectiveness of AI in interpreting psychological states and improving care.
- Adoption Rates: Measure the adoption of AI-based tools and techniques in healthcare settings.
- Patient and Caregiver Feedback: Collect qualitative and quantitative feedback from patients and caregivers using these new AI tools.
INCLUSIVE INFORMATION DESIGN: Meaningful Experiences for Diverse Audiences
Expanded Proposition:
AI can enhance digital signage and public interactive displays to provide meaningful and accessible experiences for neurodiverse individuals, seniors, and visually impaired people. This inclusivity ensures that public information is accessible to all, fostering a more inclusive society.
Targeted Industry Sector:
Digital signage, public information systems, and inclusive design sectors, including companies specializing in accessibility technologies.
Evidence of Impact:
- User Experience Research: Conduct research to assess the usability and satisfaction of diverse user groups with AI-enhanced public displays.
- Accessibility Compliance: Track improvements in compliance with accessibility standards and guidelines.
- Adoption by Public Services: Measure the adoption rate of these technologies by public institutions and municipalities.
By focusing on these expanded propositions and targeted industry sectors, we can demonstrate the multifaceted impact of the AI + dance project. Collecting and analyzing evidence across these areas will provide a comprehensive view of how the pilot’s outputs can create meaningful change and drive innovation within each sector.
