How it works

My work focuses on how machines see the world. I have created a drawing system that allows neural networks to produce abstract ink prints that reveal their visual concepts. Surprisingly, these prints are understood not only by the neural networks that created them, but also universally across most AI systems which have been trained to recognise the same objects. Neural networks have been trained on thousands of individual items from everyday life, such as “Rabbit”, “Banana”, or “Dalmatian”. Using the drawing system I have provided, the neural networks directly express in simple ink drawings their own versions of these categories – creating abstract shapes that convey their understanding of the world.
