100 Queer People (Sequence)
Online, 2023
100 Queer People (Sequence) is a work exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) represents queer people and the resulting implications of these representations. Novak generated 100 images with AI using the prompt “queer person”. The result was a series of simulated portrait photos Novak merged into video showing strong biases towards certain demographics.
What are the biases? Why do these biases exist? What are the implications of these biases for queer communities? What is being done to manage bias in AI?
