AI/VI is an interdisciplinary pilot project dedicated to the development of artificial intelligence and its roles in modern society. It is created as a pervasive mobile game that uncovers AI, and the accompanying problematics. The aim is to put players in the position where they would question human and algorithmic ways of making decisions and their future consequences: how do we understand artificial intelligence and relate to it; what direction do we want it to take; how do we transform and shape together ourselves in the process of its creation and consumption?
Mapped locations in downtown Belgrade are topic posts that problematise dynamic relationships of the creator-AI-user system. Players continually build their relationship with AI and the reality they go through. Through the game and picnic discussions, designed as places of experience exchange, they can uncover their path, delve deeper into the problematics, and have the public actively engaged in further game developing.
AI/VI is designed by a team of professional experts from various fields gathered around a shared question – how are humans and artificial intelligence being shaped and transformed through their mutual relationship, communication, and use?
The game has its own library of educational resources in which different viewpoints of newness, innovation and problems related to AI intertwine and grow, offering an abundance of theoretical, critical, artistic and media material as fruitful thought niches for further creative wanderings.
