The Care and Feeding of Your AI is an interactive piece by Andy DiLallo and Josh Westerman, focusing on the surveillance potential of AI. It reflects on the vast data AI consumes to interpret our emotions. Viewers engage with a screen that translates their facial expressions into emojis, with an AI assessing the intensity of their emotions. This live interaction questions the ethics of emotion-recognition technology and its accuracy, offering a critique through playful yet thought-provoking engagement. Displayed in downtown Denver, it sparked conversations on the authenticity of AI-perceived emotions.
