moreartnyc on January 25, 2024: "➕Whose AI? by Carrie Sijia Wang➕ Join us this Saturday, January 27th from 4-8pm at Head Hi (@headhi_ny) for Rituals of Social Transformation, a showcase of work & conversations from our 2023 Fellows, including a presentation of Whose AI? by Carrie Sijia Wang (@carrie_re7l). Learn more about this project below and RSVP at the link in our bio 🔗 ——— Whose AI? is a socially engaged art project intended to empower young people from underserved communities to (re)imagine the future of Conversational AI, and engage meaningfully in critical dialogues concerning the risks involved in the development and utilization of AI language models. Can we create AI chatbots that prioritize community over profit; value imagination over efficiency; represent unique voices instead of flattening them? The project explores these questions through a series of hands-on, process-driven workshops. Participants will co-construct knowledge about ethical AI by coming together to collectively build AI chatbots in an explorative, transparent, and decentralized way. ——— Image: Carrie Sijia Wang, What if? A Workshop to Reimagine the Future of AI Chatbots, 2023. Image descriptions in alt text.".

Calculating Empires has won the European Commission's 2024 Grand Prize for Artistic Exploration in Science, Technology, and the Arts. The jury noted that 'Calculating Empires challenges us to redefine our relationship with current socio-technical structures. By asking how we got where we are today, we can reconsider where we might be going.' Previous winners include Richard Mosse, Holly Herndon and Matt Dryhurst.

A group show by SPACE Art + Tech Focus – Next and InProcess residency artists, posing questions about what it means to be human and a citizen in the digital age, through work in progress and research developed throughout the residency. In response to the theme Future Human, the artists explored how AI (Artificial Intelligence) is impacting the way we understand the world. Works have been created with the use and subversion of emergent technologies such as facial recognition, data algorithms, augmented reality, voice recognition and moving image. Audiences are invited to create their own data ritual, explore ideas on machine bias and life post death and take a journey through distant past and future to experience Earth’s climate. My collaboration with artist Shinji Toya centres around a critical examination of the limits of categorisation in machine learning systems. Specifically, we’re interested in the institution and function of racial categories in image-based facial recognition algorithms; the project questions how social structures and technical systems intertwine to intensify existing conditions of bias and inequity, and how this bias operates as a substrate of the algorithmic image. Layers of Abstraction: A Pixel at the Heart of Identity is a visual indication of research-in-progress, presenting the mixed technological method we used to uncover a single pixel that represents the limit between ‘Asian’ and ‘White’ racial categories in a commercial facial recognition system. By passing the image through more than one image-based algorithm, we begin to distil the locus of difference as read by the machine-eye. The pixel acts as a threshold through which the system reconfigures itself and, in doing so, gives rise to identities hidden amidst arrays of colour channel data. The minute, discrete, and tangible nature of the pixel as a racialized limit point between categories points to a social problem at the heart of abstraction in machine learning systems.
