Artist and designer Linda Dounia is pioneering the movement to liberate AI. Sure, artificial intelligence is autonomous. But humans still create it, so it's steeped in prejudice, bias and imperfections. "People from the Global South, especially people of colour, using AI today can confidently attest that it doesn't know them and that its conceptualisation of their reality is fragmentary," explains Rebeiz. Through her vastly varied, energetic and ethereal artwork, Rebeiz quite literally re-writes AI from the inside out. She has an archival approach to her work, collecting information from her own life, history and culture in Senegal, which becomes data to input into GANs and algorithms which generate her work. Dounia paints too and uses images of her paintings as data sets for new algorithms. Through this process, Dounia steadily trains AI out of its current whitewashed condition.
