New sculpture depicts AI leaders escaping a sinking ship.

The short version

  • Two artists from a Bay Area studio unveiled What Iceberg? , a table-sized installation placed at the public entrance to an OpenAI developer event in San Francisco on Tuesday.
  • “I think most people focus on this concept of the iceberg,” Kevin told Ars.
  • “The inevitable collision—I think it’s a very obvious metaphor.

What happened

I think the real metaphor is that this AI world we’re living in is much like the Titanic. There was always a contingency plan for the rich and wealthy.

Why it matters

We are the ones that are going to suffer the consequences.” Kevin told Ars that while the piece cost relatively little in monetary value, it had a different kind of cost to make.
