“The BOX Will See You Now”: An Interactive Artwork Exploring the Influence of AI in Medical Diagnostics

The BOX by Fiona Smith is an interactive installation that explores the “black box” aspect of AI technology, posing the question: If we feed AI with incomplete or biased data – can we then expect it to make reasonable suggestions?
