-Artificial intelligence (AI) is all around us, transforming the way we see the world and the world see us. Sometimes, we barely notice, sometimes, the results of AI can be very impressive, though sometimes so impressively bad, that Hito Steyrl and others started to talk about “Artificial Stupidity”. But almost always, the actual procedures of AI remain mysterious, locked away in a black box.

Sometimes, we barely notice, sometimes, the results of AI can be very impressive, though sometimes so impressively bad, that Hito Steyrl and others started to talk about “Artificial Stupidity”.

-In this module, we will look at a recent wave of artistic and theoretical work that tries to open this black box, creating a language and an esthetics for critical engagement. In particular, we will look at image recognition AI, what the artist Trevor Paglen calls “predatory vision” and the data scientists Joy Buolamwini calls the “coded gaze”, referring to gender and racial biases in these systems.

 We will also use some web-based image recognition systems to get a first-hand impression of the capacities of these technologies as tools for artistic investigation.

+  - Write in one or two sentences what you were looking for, e.g: How does the output differs if we use the same picture and tweak some colors?
+  - Make some screenshots of your results.
+  - Write some words about your research.
