Weaving the Commons: Cultural AI Beyond Borders

Maurice, Fenwick McKelvey, L. Desmeules, and Tegan Maharaj presented Weaving the Commons: Cultural AI Beyond Borders as a closing panel of the 3rd ArtIA Symposium at the Society for Arts and Technology, Montréal, on 19 August 2025. The discussion asked how cultural actors can treat AI as a commons beyond extractive corporate logics.

ArtIA: Towards a Commons for AI in Digital Creation unites artists and cultural workers around collective ownership, cooperative infrastructures, and creative reappropriation of AI.
