We observe a radical evolution in the field of image and text generation with the popularization of tools using deep learning (which we will call "artificial intelligence"), such as Dall-E, Midjourney, Stable diffusion, Disco Diffusion, Gpt 3 and others. Moreover, artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of text and image have, in recent months, taken a very important step forward: opening up new and absolutely unheard-of creative possibilities that we argue as essential to understand and critique. These AIs have also become new creative tools, so we have to test them and experiment with their affordances without any preconceived ideas: in order to find new design uses and possibilities.

Within the framework of this workshop, we produced various narrations involving – in a fictional or historical way – artificial intelligences. These produced narratives were embodied by different forms: from images, posters, animations, shorts, books or games. This workshop enabled us to explore different ways to deploy and build dialogues between AIs and our creative processes: finding ways to communicate and produce new meanings in symbiosis with these emerging tools.
