Making Artificial Intelligence more inclusive through imaginative new artworks
Industry-leading AI lab DeepMind has launched Visualising AI, an innovative project that aims to connect a broad audience with groundbreaking advancements in AI through visual art. In collaboration with creative agency Flying Object, the project invites artists to discuss key themes in AI with DeepMind scientists, engineers, researchers and ethicists. Those conversations are being used as a catalyst to create new artworks. Crucially, each artist is given complete creative freedom to interpret the shared knowledge in whichever way they choose.

AI narratives are often presented as overcomplicated or stuffy. Furthermore, as exacerbated by countless Hollywood tropes, AI is typically associated with science fiction, instilling unrealistic and non-diverse narratives. Such storylines can incite fear or promote transient hype bubbles. Visualising AI, however, seeks to redress this, providing a multi-dimensional picture of how AI can impact society. Taking into consideration both critics’ concerns and societal benefits, Visualising AI weighs up the roles and responsibilities of AI through the accessible language of visual art.

By creating, open-sourcing and actively distributing a large catalogue of imagery, Visualising AI hopes to be able to provide a useful tool to give routes into understanding key concepts of AI. The project aims to open up transparent and approachable conversations around AI, ultimately giving more people a voice in how the tech is developed. Kicking off the project are artists Vincent Schwenk, Wes Cockx, Rose Pilkington, Khyati Trehan, Tim West, Champ Panupong Techawongthawon and Nidia Dias. The artists explore a range of topics, from AI safety to robotics and digital biology.

“Visuals up to now depicting AI haven’t done justice to the scale of positive impact that Artificial general intelligence has already, and continues to have, on the world. ‘Visualising AI’ felt less like a design project and more like a visual movement and I’m so glad I could contribute to it.” — Khyati Trehan, Artist
