TOMO KIHARA / 木原 共

Escape from the Smart City is an escape game that questions the use of AI-enhanced surveillance in cities. In this game, players must identify hidden cameras within the city, expose algorithmic biases, and outsmart facial detection systems in order to win. This was carried out as a part of a master's research at Delft University of Technology, which defined eight specific challenges that AI surveillance poses to society. The game illuminates the role of multinational corporations in creating these "smart" surveillance systems, often without public understanding or consent.
