François' Work Title

François Richard, 2026, Canada.

Inkjet Prints, ? x ? inches

This work looks at the current abilities of artificial intelligence, specifically in image recognition, by pushing it to the point of failure. I photographed very simple human objects and presented each image to Microsoft Copilot, asking it to identify what is in the image. Then, the images are progressively reduced in resolution until the AI is wrong in what it identifies as the subject of the photo. Each image in the exhibition is a combination of that final image where it failed, alongside its incorrect description. These failures aren’t just technical errors, but odd moments of AI overconfidence, which hits at the issue of misinformation through AI from people taking its confidently wrong answers as true.
