‘This is What LGBT Life is Like Around The World - for androids’, by Louis, explains the video ‘This is What LGBT Life is Like Around The World | Jenni Chang and Lisa Dazols | TED Talks’ uploaded by TED, to androids and AI.

Some time soon AI will be working alongside us in offices, shops and schools. How can we expect them to get their heads around gender and sexuality when most grown-ups find it so confusing? 

How do you train androids to understand gender and sexuality in the workplace? 

Teenagers taking part in the Prototype Summer Camp at FACT Liverpool, created a set of videos to train androids to understand human sexuality and gender in the workplace.

If you were going to share one YouTube clip with a robot to help it understand how to work with people, what would it be? How do they make friends? Get a raise? Impress the office mean girls? Have a good work life balance?

The young people on Prototype Summer Camp at FACT Liverpool created a set training videos for the androids, so that they won’t be so confused if someone comes out to them or talks about shows featuring LGBTQ+ characters at the water cooler. 

To make sure that the androids could make sense of the video, the young people used AI creative software ‘Runway ML’, to transform a set of YouTube clips, into something closer to how an AI sees things.

We took inspiration from Janelle Shane’s blog post, ‘The World Through The Eyes of a Neural net.’
