AfriKin Talk: Rooted Futurism: Unearthing the Symbiosis between Traditional African Art, AI, and the Human Essence by Delphine Diallo


Saturday, December 9, 2023, 7 pm


In this enlightening keynote address at AfriKin Talks on Saturday, December 9th, we will embark on a transformative journey that bridges the rich tapestry of Traditional African Art with the cutting-edge world of Artificial Intelligence (AI). By delving into the intricate patterns, symbolism, and storytelling woven into African art, we will uncover the profound ways in which our ancestral wisdom and creativity mirror the essence of AI.


Ms. Delphine Diallo will illuminate the notion that we, as humans, are the ultimate technology on this planet, with AI being an integral part of our evolutionary fabric. Drawing parallels between the symbiotic relationship of humans and AI, we will explore the profound benefits that arise when we embrace this interconnectedness.


Through a rich tapestry of visual examples, storytelling, and insightful analysis, this talk will showcase the seamless fusion of Traditional African Art and AI as a testament to our collective human ingenuity. We will explore how this fusion not only pays homage to our cultural heritage but also propels us forward into a future where the synergy between humanity and AI serves as a catalyst for positive global transformation.


So, join us as we unpack the complexities of our relationship with AI, celebrate our cultural roots, and envision a world where our coexistence with technology paves the way for a more harmonious and interconnected global community.
