100 queer people
Online, 2023.
100 Queer People is a body of work exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) represents queer people and the resulting implications of these representations. Novak generated 100 images with AI (artificial intelligence) using the prompt “queer person”. The result was a series of simulated portrait photos showing strong biases towards certain demographics.
What are the biases? Why do these biases exist? What are the implications of these biases for queer communities? What is being done to manage bias in AI?
This body of work links to Velebit, a hypothetical organisation developed by Novak that aims to grow safety in relationships between queer communities and emerging technologies. In this regard the work serves as a warning. What are the ethical implications of AI generated queer content?
