Exploring AI: Making the Invisible Visible

AI technology is all around us, whether you realize it or not!

Exploring AI: Making the Invisible Visible, is your introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI). Discover where AI is being used and learn how the choices humans make can affect the impact of these technologies. Watch a mobile robot use AI to remain upright as it navigates an uneven surface, find out how AI is changing day-to-day tasks at work and at home, learn about humanoid robots, and create an AI-generated artwork. You’ll also explore how the data we select to train AI systems can introduce unintended bias. 

AI Technologies

Encounter dozens of examples of AI technologies through a collection of objects, artifacts, images, and videos. Get up close to real humanoid robots from Toyota Research Institute and Boston Dynamics; peer into an AI-enhanced oven from June Life; and watch a quadrupedal robot from Boston Dynamics navigate an obstacle course.  

Learn how AI is being used in healthcare applications (analyzing ultrasound images, drug discovery); in transportation (car crash prediction, smart traffic lights, self-driving cars); in commerce (fraud detection, targeted advertising); in school (exam proctoring, automated grading); and to better understand the natural world (weather prediction, spotting wildfires). In two areas of the exhibit, you can also explore how choices related to training data sets can create biased algorithms.

This exhibition reveals many of the ways AI is all around us!
