< 观察者机制：连接真理 >

在人工智能时代，对世界之基本感知所呈现的复杂心态已不再是人类独有的能力。人工智能与其自学程序的出现，始终表现出一种类似于人类的认知特质，如对现实的解读、自然语言的处理、视觉景观的理解等等。 

我们通常对技术进步的理解在于它反射出一种自然进化规律，由此推论出AI是人类创造力的巅峰。尽管其目前的性能呈现了种种误差与局限性。一方面，我们可以轻易地将这些缺陷辩解为技术的初期发展状态或硬件有限的结果；但这也有可能是我们自身对现实理解有限的纯粹反映。换言之，我们以人类的方式创造并训练这些自动化智能系统，让他们以同样的方式去了解这个世界，排斥系统的缺陷并将其归咎为渺小的技术错误；还有可能，这些错误本身就是机器人类化特征的一部分，并使其自身存在的方式显得更加捉摸不定。这也是我们在思考现今智能系统于人类日常生活、金融体系、保健产业、战争、线上交友、社交网络中所扮演的角色时，显现出来的根本性问题。

“观察者机制：连接真理” 是一次为艺术家打造研究与创造的机会，艺术家将针对人工智能相关的不同领域（如，机器视觉、自然语言处理、认知运算、群体智能、机器人学以及其他形式的智能技术系统）开展工作与思考。 


<Observer Mechanics: Interfacing Truth >

On the age of artificial intelligence (AI), the more complex mental layers rendered over the raw perception of the world are no longer exclusive human abilities. As AI emerges with its learning procedures it evermore displays human-like characteristics of a sort of cognition such as: the interpretation of reality, natural language processing, understanding of the visual landscape, among others.

Our common understanding of technological developments is that it mirrors natural evolution and therefore AI is the pinnacle of human creativity. Nonetheless, on their current capacity these AIs present all sort of errors and limitations. On one hand, we can easily argue that these are the result of an early state of development or limited hardware, but another possibility could be that these constraints are just a simple reflection of our own limited understanding of reality. In other words, we create and train these autonomous and intelligent systems to see and understand the world as we humans do and reject all of their glitches as mere technical malfunctioning, while another possibility could be that the errors themselves are part of the human-like acquired features of these machines, hence rendering existence in more dubious ways. This presents a fundamental problem if we consider the role these systems currently play in our lives, financial system, health industry, war, online-dating, social networking and autonomous vehicles among many other functions and applications.

Observer Mechanics: Interfacing Truth is a research and creation opportunity for artists working in and thinking of various fields of artificial intelligence such as: machine vision, natural language processing, cognitive computing, swarm intelligence, robotics, and any other forms of intelligent technological systems.
