Reflecting the ethical implications of artificial intelligence and algorithmic decision-making.
Artificial intelligence is everywhere, with a promise to help deliver insights that were previously too complex for computer systems to calculate. And as computing power keeps growing, the technology is increasingly applied to analyze and predict people's behaviors, experiences, and profiles.
The common view is that these developments will have a positive impact on society. However, some recent applications have shown that ethical and social impact are often only a side thought. Because indeed, what happens if algorithms make mistakes? How can we amend our own data? These questions raise the need for us to better understand the impact of these technologies on society and to reveal public attitudes and concerns.
Biometric Mirror is a suite of ethically provocative interactive systems that, each, enable public participation in the debate around ethics of AI. The systems place people in the front seat of a malicious, undesirable, or otherwise confronting AI analysis. Through personalization and interactive storytelling, Biometric Mirror stimulates individual reflection on the ethical application of AI.
