Exhibition on AI, Imagery, and Global Health
March 4, 2025 — April 4, 2025
| Location: | MacOdrum Library, Future Learning Lab (FLL), Fourth floor |
The Library is hosting an exhibit linked to a research groups of mine, the Canadian Network on Humanitarian History, until early April, on AI, Imagery, and Global Health.
The rise of generative AI has sparked both innovation and controversy in global health storytelling. Numerous global healthcare aid organizations are embracing AI-generated imagery to depict communities in crisis—but at what cost?
Artificial images in global health: Fakery before and in the era of AI is a thought-provoking exhibition that explores the evolving role of artificial imagery in global humanitarian healthcare aid. Displayed is a collection of AI-generated and historical visuals that challenge perceptions of authenticity, fakery, ethics, and the power of images in shaping global health narratives.
What happens when synthetic images replace real moments? Can AI help or harm efforts toward ethical representation? And in a time of decolonization and authentic partnerships, what does it mean to rely on ‘fake’ visuals?
Experience the exhibition and be part of the conversation.
