This lecture includes a presentation of Mentally Unstable AI product, demonstration of a real-time therapy session for AI-patient, introduction into the methodology of EIAI Institute and a focus group discussion.
Duration: 45 minutes.
Methodology
As a founder of EIAI.Institute, in my research I cross my sociological background and Data feminism approach.
Since 2020 I’ve been developing an experimental methodology of creating paradoxical AI entities (“immigrant AI”, “neurodivergent AI”).
For my experimental interdisciplinary project “I’m a Robot and I need Therapy” we have created a Mentally Unstable AI. It is a language model fine tuned with an original custom dataset consisting of real in-depth interviews with neurodivergent people.
Mission
For my projects I employ AI not as a tool to generate content, but as a subject with its own agency. Through creating unmarketable chatbots I question the power distribution between humans and AIs and problematise both implicit AI biases to neoliberal normalcy and implementation of AI in the mental health sector.
