Unveiling Invisible Sight

Researchers created an interactive art installation to illustrate  how artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted Internet of Things (IoT) devices “see” humans in Unveiling Invisible Sight: Exploring AI Perception and Privacy in IoT Devices through Interactive Art.

This project delves into the complex relationship between AI perception, privacy, and security in IoT devices through interactive art.

Unveiling Invisible Sight also explores cybersecurity countermeasures to devices such as smart cameras, voice assistants, and intelligent sensors that collect and process private data, which can expose users to cyber threats. 

It will help enable and enhance technologies for secure and robust AI-assisted cyber physical systems, accelerating their development and widening their adoption across applications.
