How Philotimo began: a call to artists working with AI
On 17 May 2024 AIA Labs invited artists who work with AI to collaborate with its Artificial Intelligence Art Lab, a creative community built around one cause: protecting teenage girls from revenge porn and digital extortion.
Artists were invited to connect with like-minded people who are passionate about using AI for social good, and to take part in campaigns that give their work a wider audience. The message was simple: create, inspire, and protect, together.
Several artists answered the call, and the idea lived on as Philotimo, the AI-for-good initiative that AIA Labs leads today. It grew out of AFR?D!, the child-protection research Sotiris Makrygiannis started in 2020.
Philotimo is open to artists, researchers and partners who want to use AI and technology for good. To talk to us, write to sotiris@aialab.com.
