Context

This work was funded by AI4Media – a project that has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 951911. Better Images of AI and AIxDESIGN was commissioned €1,000 and €3,000 respectively for their contributions to this project.

AI4Media, in partnership with Better Images of AI and AIxDESIGN, wanted to commission 10 new images for the Better Images of AI library. Collectively we agreed to commission 3 artists to create new stock images of AI, published as stock imagery on the Better Images of AI library, available for free and public use under the Creative Commons by 4.0 license.

Approach

Led by the project team at AIxDESIGN, we designed an approach that would meet the following project objectives:

• publish 10 new images to Better Images of AI library; and
• test how Better Images of AI might employ a participatory approach to its image commissions.

Step 01_ We documented desired outcomes and objectives for this project.

How we did it

• We surveyed AI4Media consortium to better understand the images they needed but didn’t have. < Survey reflection coming soon >
• We discussed the survey results and grouped them into the following three (3) high-level image briefs that articulated the themes the project partners wanted to see in the final images. For full descriptions, see Open Call: Better Images of Responsible AI with AIxDESIGN [S01].
  • Explainable AI
  • Machine-in-the-loop, a reframing of human-in-the-loop sources include
  • AI Governance

Step 02_ We launched an Open Call to find artists we could commission
