AI Pictionary
How does the exhibit work?
Play pictionary with the AI. Choose a word on the screen and try to draw it. The AI will try to guess what you are drawing.
If the AI is correct, it explains how it was able to guess the solution.
What is the science behind it?
Does AI pictionary work equally well for everyone?
Close your eyes and imagine a sandwich. You probably think of an oblong, soft sandwich. But in America, they probably think of a sandwich as they know it: several slices of bread on top of each other with fillings in between. And in Sweden, they think of a slice of bread with toppings on top. So if a Belgian, a Swede and an American have to draw a sandwich, you get three very different things.
If AI pictionary is only trained with American sandwich drawings, it only guesses those drawings correctly. The others don't recognise them. So we say it is biased. This is why it is important to give AI systems plenty of examples from different cultures.
Do you come across words here that you would draw differently?
AI in streaming services
Streaming services like Netflix and Spotify use AI to recommend movies or songs to you. They do this by looking at what you watched and listened to before.
AI in navigation apps
Apps like Waze and Google Maps calculate the route to your destination in a jiffy. Thanks to AI, they make predictions about crowds on the road and decide the best way to go based on that.
