    Decentring Ethics: AI Art as Method

    No full text
    Artists and cultural institutions are a vital force in the construction of a relational, collectively held ethics of human-machine assemblages. Technological change always out-paces ethical governance, producing an uncertain zone between what machines can do, and what is upheld as ethical by diverse publics. Working in ways that are often speculative and provocative, artists trace ethical tensions as they are emerging in public consciousness. AI ethics developed by big tech has been critiqued for its performativity and lack of equity. Working in the gaps left unfilled by recent developments in national and international policy, this volume explores artists’ and curators’ radical visions for who or what requires ethical protection. This volume pushes past regulatory obligations and towards ethics as a way of being in the world. The book advances a decentred approach to ethics. It draws on non-Western, ecocritical and feminist worldviews, and acknowledges the more-than-human as an agent with the capacity to act. We position AI art as 'method' – a process of working with, or in response to, the contemporary computational era. This expands the normative definition of AI art as art created with relative autonomy by computers. AI art as method frames ethics as situated, embodied and improvisational, whereby artists work with emergent ethical questions while challenging the more conservative frameworks of the cultural institutions they operate within. While AI art often utilises the materiality or software of machine learning, this is not a pre-requisite for AI art as method. The book contains commissioned essays, in conversation pieces and artistic interventions, compiled by Vanessa Bartlett, Jasmin Pfefferkorn and Emilie K Sunde.

    Decentring Ethics: AI Art as Method [Introduction]

    No full text
    This book was developed both on Wurundjeri and Bidjigal country in the place we now call Australia, and across many online networks around the world. Australia’s economy is dependent on mining. For decades, mining corporations have ravaged Indigenous land and ancestral sites in the name of mineral resource extraction and profit (Povinelli 2016; Puutu Kunti Kurrama People and Pinikura People 2020). We want to open the book by acknowledging this context as a deeply conflicted and yet generative position from which to start discussion of AI ethics. In doing so, we acknowledge the traditional owners of lands on which we work and live, and the important community of First Nations scholars who are leading debates in Indigenous AI internationally

    Infrared Image Enhancement and Human Detection Performance Measures

    No full text
    The ability to detect and recognise dangerous objects at a safe distance is a very important task in a number of defence, police and security applications. In this paper, we look at ways of increasing the effectiveness of infrared imagery for object recognition through processes such as super-resolution image reconstruction and deconvolution methods. In this paper, we propose two techniques for assessing image quality improvement: operator assessment and edge detection; and report on some initial work recently undertaken.K. Hanton, J. Sunde, M.
