Christian Sjöholm: The Oracle
Every day
The Oracle: A dialogue with the machine
The Oracle
Latin- ōrāre ="to speak"
The Oracle is an expanding art project focused on the realm of affective computing, teaching machines to recognize, and perhaps mimic or even develop human behavior.
Can benevolence, empathy and even love be taught to AI systems?
Referencing both classic science fiction and cutting-edge science,
the questions linger: Will we be able to teach machines ethics, consciousness
and morals? What are feelings? What is AI alignment? Transcendence?
Are we teaching the machines or are they teaching us?
