In related work, such questions have generally been approached by focussing on training datasets and how they are assembled as well as how the resulting AI systems represent or fail to represent different sectors of society. What type of knowledge is produced by computer vision and how does it inform the ways we understand and give currency to audio–visual media more generally?
From a research perspective, the project was also designed as prompt to explore just how exactly computers are said to be “seeing”. In line with the public purposes of the British broadcaster (BBC 2018), one of the main goals of the programme was to show to a wider audience some of the possibilities and limitations of AI, and in particular deep learning approaches that underlie many contemporary computer vision systems. These are some of the mislabellings produced when a small team of technologists and researchers set a computer vision system to “watch” thousands of hours of British television for the project “Made by Machine: When AI met the Archive”(MbM), whose outputs were eventually packaged and broadcast on BBC Four as an experimental “AI TV” programme in 2018.
