Versed in nascent AI technology and committed to interrogating its methods of making meaning, Ari Temkin’s Jewish Dataset activates these digital tools to interrogate how Jewish culture is represented, reflected, and maligned in these technologies. Like a conductor of an orchestra, Temkin creates structures through which both humans and technology collaborate to create new forms of meaning, for better or worse. Using real time events as a starting point, Temkin cracks open a view into how new technologies are replicating old stereotypes with absurd and astonishing results.
