Would you benefit from an AI wingman that would automatically detect and flirt with potential partners on dating apps? What data would you feed your AI wingman? What would an acceptable error rate be? How would you deploy it? Would your potential suitors be receptive to it?
The AI wingman will examine every step of the AI design process, which includes data collection and labelling, algorithm training and algorithm evaluation after it has been deployed in the wild. The AI wingman is an artwork and a tool that allows users to reflect on the role of humans in designing AI algorithms.
What you will learn:
Participants will learn about the essential steps for building a facial recognition algorithm (using python):
- Data Collection & Labelling
- Data Preprocessing
- Training a facial recognition algorithm
- Prototyping the algorithm in the wild
