Is this violence? Am I too sexy?
Game that explores what is violence and sexiness for Google
2017
"Is this violence? Am I too sexy?" is a game that challenges AI's perception of violence and sensuality. Participants engage in front of a live webcam, transmitting images in real-time to Google Cloud Vision. The system then evaluates the imagery for potential instances of violence or sensuality. The challenge for participants is to heighten their score without resorting to actual violence or nudity. This game questions the nature of inherently biased machine-led decision-making and its ability to quantify inherently subjective concepts. Intriguingly, the scoring methodology uses the same system of Google's safe search filters, hinting at the broader societal implications—where a high score might inadvertently lead to digital censorship.
