EXAMPLE OF LINKING PERSONAL TESTIMONIES WITH ML VISUALIZE

We wanted to explore how it feels like.

TESTS FOR GENERATING IMAGES FROM TEXTS

In order to research possible outcomes, we started by feeding model that is based on COCO dataset with existing texts from the bible.
Prosthetic Knowledge wrote about it.

: Let there be a dome in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters

: Listen your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground!

: God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good

: The tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die

Why We Need to Start Talking About the Mental States of Our Machines

Artificial intelligence provides a profound shift in how we understand ourselves. Algorithms generate new maps for how we make sense of the world. We are reproducing ourselves through technology, creating tools which reflect our own image — augmenting our realities through big data software, global interconnectivity, and global consciousness. We have given our cognitive biases, values, and misunderstanding over to math-powered applications that increasingly manage our lives. This changes our stories. [Continue reading]

5 Reasons why I believe AI can have mental illness

I am not a Machine Learning coder. I think about AI as a social phenomena rather than a technical one, and see algorithms as a means to reflect on ourselves and how we make sense of the world. Humans have long been trying to reproduce themselves and create consciousness in machines, which leads to one of the most existential questions — what makes a self? Algorithms reveal what we value, our cognitive biases, and which voices we hear from most often, frequently at the exclusion of others. This is especially crucial to understand at a time when our physical, social, political and economic worlds rely on a growing number of collaborative systems between humans and machines.
