Speaker Series: Simon Hudson - Founder of Botto

Cheng Huai Art & Culture Association

Hear Simon Hudson discuss Botto, the autonomous AI artist redefining creativity through decentralized community curation!

McGill Engine Centre

Simon Hudson is a leading voice at the intersection of art, technology, and decentralized creativity. He plays a key role in shaping the identity and evolution of Botto, an AI artist developed in collaboration with a global community through a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization)—a blockchain-based structure that allows participants to collectively guide creative decisions.Botto is an experiment in aligning AI with human values through a decentralized process. While Botto generates artworks autonomously, it doesn’t know what “good” art is. Each week, the DAO votes on its outputs, and the most popular piece is minted and sold. Proceeds are shared with voters, aligning incentives and shaping Botto’s evolving aesthetic.The project has been widely recognized for exploring how people can influence AI systems and share in the value they create. Botto’s work has been exhibited globally at venues such as Art Basel, Christie’s, Sotheby’s and more. It was a Lumen Prize finalist in 2022 and named Digital Artist of the Year at the 2023 Hong Kong Digital Art Fair.Simon brings a nuanced perspective on authorship, creativity, and the future of AI in art—blending artistic vision with technological innovation. Join us for an engaging event with Simon, where he will discuss Botto's innovative approach and explore how artificial intelligence and community collaboration are reshaping art creation. 📅 Date: March 14, 2025 ⏰ Time: 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM 📍 Location: Room FDA3, McGill Engine Centre, 3450 Rue University, Montreal, QC 🎟️ Cost: Free
