Postmortem avatars in grief therapy: Prospects, ethics, and governance
Joshua Hatherley, Sandrine R. Schiller, Iwan Williams +3
Postmortem avatars (PMAs) -- AI systems that simulate a deceased person by being fine-tuned on data they generated or that was generated about them -- have attracted growing schola…
Goal-Directedness is in the Eye of the Beholder
Nina Rajcic, Anders Søgaard
Our ability to predict the behavior of complex agents turns on the attribution of goals. Probing for goal-directed behavior comes in two flavors: Behavioral and mechanistic. The fo…
Mechanistic Interpretability Needs Philosophy
Iwan Williams, Ninell Oldenburg, Ruchira Dhar +6
Mechanistic interpretability (MI) aims to explain how neural networks work by uncovering their underlying mechanisms. As the field grows in influence, it is increasingly important…
Mimetic Poet
Jon McCormack, Elliott Wilson, Nina Rajcic +1
This paper presents the design and initial assessment of a novel device that uses generative AI to facilitate creative ideation, inspiration, and reflective thought. Inspired by ma…
Towards A Diffractive Analysis of Prompt-Based Generative AI
Nina Rajcic, Maria Teresa Llano, Jon McCormack
Recent developments in prompt-based generative AI has given rise to discourse surrounding the perceived ethical concerns, economic implications, and consequences for the future of…
No Longer Trending on Artstation: Prompt Analysis of Generative AI Art
Jon McCormack, Maria Teresa Llano, Stephen James Krol +1
Image generation using generative AI is rapidly becoming a major new source of visual media, with billions of AI generated images created using diffusion models such as Stable Diff…
Is Writing Prompts Really Making Art?
Jon McCormack, Camilo Cruz Gambardella, Nina Rajcic +3
In recent years Generative Machine Learning systems have advanced significantly. A current wave of generative systems use text prompts to create complex imagery, video, even 3D dat…
Message Ritual: A Posthuman Account of Living with Lamp
Nina Rajcic, Jon McCormack
As we become increasingly entangled with digital technologies, the boundary between human and machine is progressively blurring. Adopting a performative, posthumanist perspective r…
Mirror Ritual: An Affective Interface for Emotional Self-Reflection
Nina Rajcic, Jon McCormack
This paper introduces a new form of real-time affective interface that engages the user in a process of conceptualisation of their emotional state. Inspired by Barrett's Theory of…
Mirror Ritual: Human-Machine Co-Construction of Emotion
Nina Rajcic, Jon McCormack
Mirror Ritual is an interactive installation that challenges the existing paradigms in our understanding of human emotion and machine perception. In contrast to prescriptive interf…
Camera Obscurer: Generative Art for Design Inspiration
Dilpreet Singh, Nina Rajcic, Simon Colton +1
We investigate using generated decorative art as a source of inspiration for design tasks. Using a visual similarity search for image retrieval, the \emph{Camera Obscurer} app enab…
Parton Shower Uncertainties in Jet Substructure Analyses with Deep Neural Networks
James Barnard, Edmund Noel Dawe, Matthew J. Dolan +1
Machine learning methods incorporating deep neural networks have been the subject of recent proposals for new hadronic resonance taggers. These methods require training on a datase…
