An A.I. Sharing
Discover how personal stories challenge digital systems and reveal the messy, human side of life. Watch the film and explore the project.
How do we stay unruly within the AI era? All our life choices; the movies we watch, the lovers we are matched with, the books we read, the holidays we go on, the way we bank, shop and job hunt, are filtered through AI processes that try to make things tidy, establishing a ‘normative’ pattern. But our lives are truly unruly.
Leading the group through methods of gathering and performing oral histories, these sessions will put personal stories through AI systems, to try and disrupt them, highlighting what is most messy about our human experience.
This film include clips of the workshop process, final performance sharing and interviews with members of The Adult Company on their experience of the project, and thoughts on A.I.
About the Patterns in Practice research project
Patterns in Practice is a research project that seeks to enhance understanding of how human beliefs, values and feelings affect how we engage with data mining (the practice of analysing large databases in order to generate new information) and machine learning (computer systems that are able to learn and adapt without following explicit instructions, by using algorithms and statistical models to analyse and draw inferences from patterns in data).
After three years of talking with people in the fields of drug discovery, higher education and the arts – the partners in the project have gained a wealth of insight and material about the data cultures that emerge when information, machine processes and people come together.
