J is giving a talk on their Project Gender Tapestry at Rainbow AI at UNSW in Sydney in February. This one day workshop is designed around supporting and connecting queer identifying students and researchers interested in AI technologies.

Rainbow AI is a full-day workshop that will bring together queer students in Australian universities interested in AI.We invite queer individuals and allies working in AI in academia, research, industry, and other fields, to participate in conversations with queer students interested in AI.While the focus group of the workshop is queer students currently enrolled in an Australian university, the workshop welcomes all undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral students who identify as allies.

Diversity and Inclusion in AI Symposium
2024-11-14 08:00 - 2024-11-15 17:00
I will be presenting my AI slop research at the Diversity and Inclusion in AI Symposium online this year. I am exploring the linkages between AI slop. The propagation of images and reactions by right wing accounts, the uptick in right wing accounts sharing AI slop. Drawing connections between AI slop and the Ubermenschen, Hitler and Mussolini.

Abstract:

Generative AI is proliferating on social media at an alarming rate. Right wing spheres in particular generate and disseminate political Images with political agendas. These AI-generated images often depict soldiers, sad children, or interior designs. Of particular note are the catfishing-style “I need a husband” posts featuring women with impossible proportions, ostensibly seeking partners. These chimeric creations are bot-driven posts designed to farm engagement. These posts also offer a chilling glimpse into AI-driven beauty standards and the lack of diversity in AI-generated women. These posts reflect a mechanical view of the male gaze. However, an AI cannot truly comprehend the male gaze, and in its attempt to mimic it, it creates beings beyond understanding.

This research project aims to analyze the patterns in these images, explore posting methods and engagement. It will culminate in an artistic piece critiquing both the images and their creation and dissemination methods. By rendering these AI-generated images as classical Greek statues through Gaussian splatting and 3D printing, we aim to create a visual commentary on the intersection of AI, beauty standards, and the male gaze. This artistic approach not only highlights the absurdity of these digital constructs but also invites viewers to critically examine AI’s role in shaping contemporary perceptions of beauty and gender roles.

Join me for my research into AI slop with I need a husband: AI beauty standards and the proliferation of bot driven content.This talk will explore AI slop, catfishing, the right wing pipeline, and is tied together with a new artwork exploring the algorithmic gaze, fascism and AI slop.
