Science Gallery to reopen with BIAS, an exhibition exploring machine learning thics
Posted on: 15 October 2021
Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin will reopen its doors to the public at 18.00 on October 22 2021 with a launch party for BIAS: BUILT THIS WAY — an interactive, thought-provoking exploration of preferences, prejudices and digital equity.
Featuring new commissions from cutting-edge Irish and international artists, and collaborations with expert researchers from ADAPT, the SFI Research Centre for AI-Driven Digital Content Technology, BIAS the exhibition will interrogate how prejudice can move quickly from human to machine as algorithms and artificial intelligence systems are encoded by humans with very human values, preferences and predispositions.
Some of the exhibition’s highlights include:
- Perception iO by award-winning filmmaker Karen Palmer — an immersive experience combining neuroscience, behavioral psychology, film, AI, facial emotion detection, eye tracking, bias and social justice.
- Most Likely To Succeed by Risa Puno and Alex Taylor — this interactive game-play installation, developed with Accenture Labs, examines the construction and application of AI models through the subjective lens of fairness.
- NORMALIZI.NG by Mushon Zer-Aviv is a new digital commission further developing and adapting his existing work The Normalizing Machine. This experimental online research in machine-learning aims to analyze and understand how we decide who looks more “normal”. By contributing to the dataset and choosing between faces you deem more normal, the machine analyzes your decisions, and will add you to its algorithmic map of normality.
The full list of exhibits will be available at dublin.sciencegallery.com/bias from 22 October, along with a programme of events, talks, workshops and gigs running alongside the exhibition.
