#62: AI in Design and Art - former Senior Design Khan Academy, Professor, One Project (Raphael Arar)

By Raphael (Forbes 30 under 30 in Enterprise technology): I work at the nexus of complex systems, transdisciplinary design and arts-based research. For the past decade, I've helped others both untangle messes and uncover opportunities through a balancing act of problem-solving and creative inquiry. I currently lead Alternatives at One Project, where we're working to design, implement and scale new forms of economics and governance that are equitable, ecological and effective. I also serve as a Board Member at Leonardo, the International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology. Previously, I led design for learners at Khan Academy, tackled ethical platforms of AI at IBM Research, taught media theory at the USC School of Cinematic Arts and designed over a hundred iOS apps with Apple. My artwork has been shown at museums, conferences, festivals and galleries internationally including the ZKM | Center for Art and Media, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA), Gamble House Museum, ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Boston Cyberarts Gallery, and Athens Video Art Festival. Commercially, my work has been featured in publications including Inc. Magazine, FastCompany, Wired and others, and in 2017, I was listed as one of Forbes’s “30 under 30” in Enterprise Technology. 0:00 - Introduction Raphael 1:04 - How his interest in complex systems evolved 4:10 - How he applied his skills to education 7:21 - Democratising & scaling education (fostering children's intrinsic motivation for education) 14:30 - Changing an extrinsic motivation to an intrinsic one 18:16 - Working at IBM Research 22:04 - Changes in education during the pandemic & is there an optimal solution? 37:32 - How recent changes (e.g., the rapid growth of technology & Web 3.0) are affecting schooling 48:33 - How can you combine a decentralized economy with education? 50:52 - Raphael’s current work at “One Project” ...
