KI Series (2022) - Kashee de Bias

"Now times had changed, and the inherited wisdom of the
past had become folly."
- From: A Space Odyssey, 2001

This series contains images that were shown at the KI-BIENNALE 2022 (in Essen). The theme is artificial intelligence in the form of a human existence. At the same time, aspects of surveillance, big data and social scoring are alluded to in the eponymous work "Replicant", as we know it from current cultures or regimes.
How do we deal with it when AI is superior to us? What role does empathy play?
