The Literal Unseen
Visualising artificial intelligence
AI/ML Research Language Co-creativity 2022AI Demystification & Education
Demystifying Artificial intelligence has many faces for me, from language to images: Improving the visual representation in media (Better Images of AI), researching how the public speaks about AI, giving workshops to teach the technical basics of machine learning, explaining the code of a public Colab notebook line by line, or narrating the (sometimes funny) fails and limits of so called "intelligent" systems.
I am very passionate about this, because it's both political a personal: It's political, because AI isn't just a technical domain - AI is about people and power. It's personal, because I got my degree in Artificial Intelligence in 2014, which was the year the hype around AI (Deep Learning) started, and I suddenly had many weird conversations with people who had these very distorted ideas of what AI actually is.
