Visualising AI—Release 1,2,3 Streams of code. Glowing blue brains. White robots, and men in suits. If you search online for AI, those are the kind of misleading representations you’ll find — in news stories, advertising, and personal blogs.

These stereotypes can negatively impact public perceptions of AI technologies by perpetuating long-held biases. They also often exclude global perspectives, and this lack of diversity can further amplify social inequalities.
Through Visualising AI, we commission artists from around the world to create more diverse and accessible representations of AI. These images are inspired by conversations with our scientists, engineers, and ethicists. Diversifying the way we visualise emerging technologies is the first step to expanding the wider public’s vision of what AI can look like today – and tomorrow.
