Is this violence? Am I too sexy?
Game that explores what is violence and sexiness for AI
2017
"Is this violence? Am I too sexy?" is a game that explores 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 evaluates the imagery using Google's safe search filters to assess potential instances of violence or sensuality. The challenge for participants is to heighten their score without resorting to actual violence or nudity. This interactive experience examines how machine learning systems categorize subjective concepts like sensuality and threat, and raises questions about the role of automated content moderation in digital spaces. By using Google's existing safe search technology, the project explores both the capabilities and considerations of contemporary content classification systems.
