Little AI

AI / machine learning sculpture. 2019-2020.

Taking the idea of “little ai” to its extreme, this piece uses an inexpensive microcomputer pushed to its limits. Barely able to execute the advanced machine learning code, it runs hot and slow, and the display flickers. And yet this begins reveal the unique materiality of AI, allowing us to hold what emerges as a way to consider what the future of AI might be.
