Digital artistic creation has followed the development and the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), from the algorithm to creative intelligence to deep learning. Artificial intelligence materialises in art, mainly by what is called machine learning1, or more precisely, self-learning models, which feed on data sets. Among these models, we find deep learning methods where, by imitating human neural networks but guided by rules, the machine can learn by itself. However, machines are not as intelligent as they seem, and the field of contemporary art is a fertile space for exploring the many issues implicit in their ubiquity. Moreover, as these technological advances expand globally, it becomes vital to explore how artists and cultural actors in the Global South are influenced, responding, and perhaps pushing back.
