The case brief involves a gifted, Black coder who qualifies for early parole in the A.I.-powered drone surveillance program which is designed to reduce police brutality and mass incarceration.</p><p>Follow F.E.N.I.X. and the former engineering student as they navigate the world together. Your task is to evaluate how machine-driven data and human-driven biases impact the algorithms and outcomes in law enforcement.</p><p><br></p><p>This installation was developed to experience the systemic threat of bias in A.I, Artificial Intelligence. AI’s are machines that learn from us. The unconscious bias being programmed into their code right now could easily replicate into systems of oppression.
