Queering AI as a Speculative Practice: An Analysis of the Artistic Explorations of New Paradigms for Developing Inclusive AI
Recently, the issues of AI fairness and algorithmic oppression have received much interest due to the rising awareness of the dangers that AI poses to minority communities. While new methods of managing bias in AI are being developed, it may be impossible to overcome the normativity that these systems reinforce, as they rely on categorizing already biased data. Queer artists and theorists who recognize these constraints explore speculative approaches for conceptualizing future inclusive technology by means of queering AI. This paper analyzes some artistic instances of queering AI that promote experimental strategies of reconceptualizing AI not bound by what is currently possible. Specifically, I aim to frame queering AI as a speculative practice that draws upon those concepts of queer spatialities and temporalities that serve as a framework for artists trying to overcome AI normativity.Powered by Seed HypermediaOpen App
