Visiting Austrian artist
Claudia Larcher talks artificial intelligence and data bias. This artist talk kicks off
Impact Art AT 2022, a creative exchange that utilizes community-driven digital and new media art projects to explore and address the social challenge of bias in artificial intelligence. We are surrounded by tools that use machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI). They are sometimes visible, but often invisible to us. The fact is that almost all big data sets generated by systems using ML/AI-based models are known to be biased. Larcher will take us on a journey into the mind of an artist wrestling with the implications of applying biased models to the increasingly automated world we inhabit.
