D.A.L.I.: Dependent and Lonely Intelligence
By: Isaac Merwin ’26
Advising Faculty: James Lee
Project/Mission Statement:
These days you can come across a rover delivering food, digital profiling while shopping, or even a small bipedal robot. Public spaces have increasingly become not just the realm of humans. How do we react to integrations of artificial intelligence and intelligent space in our everyday lives: Do we embrace it? Do we hate it? I am complicating these questions with an interactive installation that uses D.A.L.I., a visually personified chatbot that users can interact with today, raising even more questions when people are confronted with intelligence that doesn’t help them, but needs them.
