DMV Rising's February Forum event, "AI Eats the World," is set to feature Trevor Paglen, a visionary artist and MacArthur Fellow whose work has redefined how we understand artificial intelligence, surveillance, and digital infrastructure.
Paglen's innovative approach combines art, technology, and investigative research in ways that challenge our understanding of AI systems. His work spans from launching artwork into Earth's orbit to creating thought-provoking AI "hallucinations" that reveal the hidden biases in machine learning systems. As AI continues to transform our world, his insights into privacy, security, and technological power structures have never been more relevant.
At February Forum, Paglen will share his unique perspective through both a keynote presentation and a panel discussion alongside Will Ackerly, former NSA Cloud Security Architect and CTO of Virtru, and John Doyle, founder of Cape. Drawing from his extensive body of work—which has been featured at institutions like the Smithsonian Museum of American Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art—Paglen will help attendees understand the unseen forces shaping our digital future.
Beyond his artistic achievements, Paglen brings deep academic credentials to the conversation, including a Ph.D. in Geography from UC Berkeley and an MFA from the Art Institute of Chicago. His multidisciplinary expertise allows him to bridge the gap between technical complexity and human impact, making him an ideal voice for this intimate winter gathering focused on AI's future.
Don't miss this exclusive opportunity to engage with one of the most innovative thinkers at the intersection of art, technology, and privacy. Join us on February 19th for an evening of insight, networking, and critical discussion about the future of AI, privacy, and security.
