Contribution by Julie Valero to the MOOC on AI & Society

Conference Training
March 9, 2026 - April 26, 2026
This MOOC, offered by EFELIA-MIAI and UGA from March 9 to April 26, aims to raise public awareness of the uses of AI: its advantages and limitations. Thanks to the AI & Creation module designed by Julie Valero, assistant professor of performing arts at UFR LLASIC, let's discover how AI is used in artistic creation!

Artificial Intelligence has invaded our lives and is becoming increasingly present in our daily lives. It is transforming healthcare, culture, information, marketing, education... But how are these systems, integrated into everyday tools, changing our personal and professional habits? Faced with some of our concerns, how can we take control of these AI systems by adopting best practices? 

Through ten societal, scientific, and cultural themes, this MOOC, led by EFELIA-MIAI andUniversité Grenoble Alpes , invitesUniversité Grenoble Alpes to explore the different areas of research pursued by our experts and the future prospects offered by AI in these fields, enabling you to become an informed and aware participant in these changes. 

Immerse yourself in the exciting world of AI and gain an informed perspective on these technological innovations!

In this capsule, Julie Valero, lecturer in performing arts at the UFR LLASIC,presentsthe relationship between generative AI and artistic creation in three stages: 

  • First, we will look at the emergence of IAGs in a broader historical context through a few key milestones and their involvement in various artistic fields.
  • Next, how are IAGs integrated into a creative process as a working environment or imaginary terrain, but also into critical representations of AI that can be made or through works of art that show the limitations of LLMs? 
  • Finally, by showing the effects of IAG on artistic creation, she will show us how we have arrived at the art of post-production, which borrows elements from the media sphere to create unique works, and how this has enabled the search for new areas of experience and expertise with LLMs. She will also highlight how art, while a breeding ground for controversy between technophilia and technophobia, emphasizes the fact that new technologies will not replace old ones. Julie Valero will discuss how these debates unfortunately obscure the technocritics who are trying to find alternative paths through various means (questioning, play, diversion, etc.). She will ultimately emphasize that while ethical questions are entirely legitimate, they should not prevent the creation of works that are both critical and inventive and in tune with their times.
