🔪 Le projet "Anatomy of AI" porté par Kate Crawford and Vladan Joler et publié par SHARElab vient d'être mis à jour. Réalisé pour une exposition à venir au V&A Museum de Londres, il consiste en un diagramme qui propose rien de moins qu'un "anatomical case study of the Amazon echo as a artificial intelligence system made of human labor", accompagné d'un essai décrivant les implications d'un tel décorticage. Un bon exemple du recours croissant au design comme moyen d'enquête ou de restitution des conclusions (qui fait écho à ce séminaire à Londres sur le thème de l'explication de l'automatisation et qui indiquer "The project combines academic research with design methods to investigate how to make data-based, automated decision-making systems understandable to people"). Cela me semble intéressant de constater que c'est bien souvent le fait d'aborder de tels sujets complexes qui amène des chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales à avoir recours aux designers.

🌶️ Mathilde Buenerd a mis en ligne plusieurs principes tirés de son projet de diplôme mené au sein du Master Media Design de la HEAD – Genève où j'enseigne. Il est intitulé "Chili Design", en référence à la proposition de Frédéric Kaplan il y a quelques années de concevoir des interfaces "piquantes", c'est à dire stimulantes, surprenantes et provoquant la surprise chez les utilisateurs alentours. Ce travail de Mathilde a débouché ensuite sur la conception d'une app, Jouska, qui collecte et analyse les échanges de messages textuels et lui donne un feedback émotionel: "The app allows users to have a better understanding of the way they talk, and in the end, of one of the others. This way, they can develop a form of immunity at targeted solicitations from advertisers, politicians, or noxious relations.". Voir cette vidéo pour plus d'information.

🔪 "Anatomy of AI" is a project led by Kate Crawford and Vladan Joler and published by SHARElab. its authors have just been released good content on the website. Produced for a forthcoming exhibition at the V&A Museum in London, it consists of a diagram that proposes nothing less than an "anatomical case study of the Amazon echo as a artificial intelligence system made of human labor", along with an essay describing the implications of such shelling. Beyond the analysis of algorithms, it's a good example of the increasing use of design as a means of investigation or restitution of conclusions (which echoes this seminar in London too, on the theme of explaining automation and which indicates "The project combines academic research with design methods to investigate how to make data-based, automated decision-making systems understandable to people"). It seems interesting to me that it is often the fact of dealing with such complex subjects that leads researchers in the humanities and social sciences to resort to designers.

🌶️ Mathilde Buenerd published design principles from her diploma project she conducted in the Media Design master at the Geneva School of Art and Design where I teach. It's called "Chili design", in reference to Frédéric Kaplan's proposal from few years ago about "chili" technologies – stimulating, disrupting, surprising for users. Mathilde's work led to the design of a an app called Jouska, that collects and analyses textual exhcanges in order to gives users an emotional feedback: "The app allows users to have a better understanding of the way they talk, and in the end, of one of the others. This way, they can develop a form of immunity at targeted solicitations from advertisers, politicians, or noxious relations.". See the video for more information.
