while ai is at the center of many conversations, its depictions are more sci-fi than reality, for example
textually analysing these images, themes:
- The colour blue
- Human brains in digital form
- White, humanoid robots, often male
- White men in suits, representing AI decision-makers
- Science fiction references
- Robot and human hands touching, echoing Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam
from themes, ai has a misleading image: “godlike, infallible, or even something to fear” + reinforces stereotypes “implying ai is controlled by a narrow group of people”
reality: “far less futuristic”, “words behind the scenes in everyday tools” - “More accurate representations include technical diagrams of AI models and algorithms. While these can seem complex, they offer a clearer view of how AI functions, making it feel more transparent and understandable.”
humans are the real driving force behing ai - we create, train and maintain it
