Details
"Data Bugs - AI is a Mirror" by Dotdotdot explores our responsibility in providing unbiased data and training AI equitably. The installation makes the working of neural networks tangible. Set in a world of insects, it presents two AI models trained on different datasets (one biased and one diverse) that visitors can interact with and thus see - live - how data shapes AI outputs: the biased dataset creates stereotypical images, while the diverse one generates varied, alien-like insects. The project highlights AI transparency, bias, and how data quality affects results, making complex tech accessible to all.
The Jury‘s Statement
The interactive installation raises awareness of the crucial role that training data plays in developing AI models. By comparing two AI models trained on different datasets, »Data Bugs - AI is a Mirror« effectively demonstrates how biases in the data foundation can lead to distorted outcomes.
