Extended Intelligences¶
In order to further explore AI possibilities and understand its repercussions we were divided in groups to create and discuss the implications of an “AI Thing”. An excuse to debate and ground our knowledge on the main concepts surrounding AI and ML.
Our group had a hard time finding common ground so we went for the silly and fun. We decided we were going to make a ridiculous and absurd AI on farts (Yes, we developed a project on flatulence).
In a world where there is an app for everything, why not have one for farting? Why not? This project might have been extra silly, but it was the humor of it that seduced the group into embracing the challenge. Confronting our reality of serious design interventions, “black boxes” and museum-like objects is especially important to create opportunities for creative silliness, as playfulness might be one of the most wonderful things in our world.
