This talk will present how the topic of machine learning for artists and designers has been taught in the MA Media Design program at HEAD – Genève in the past years. We will explore the methodologies used in workshops to teach this subject, their limitations as well as the results. As a conclusion, we will offer new possibilities and future subjects that can be explored around IA and ML tools in the context of the arts and design school.
