‘The intelligent image’ is the traditional technology of AI ( artificial intelligence) and in the book of ‘Ceci n’est une pomme’ by Kate Crawford. Evidently this essay suggests that the intelligent image is a relationship between the image and the text which accompanies such a medium of sharing and communication. However within this essay suggests that photography is like a suicide machine in the technological era that we are presently in. Further more AI technology uses tags and labels from images on the net. According to the essay and article linked below these images are to clarify humans by their race, gender, emotions, ability, sexuality and personality. So they can filter and separate the necessary content to each user whether it is on the mobile phones, computers or cctv to catch the good and bad within this global society. It also broadens, in my opinion, a way that society judges the characteristic of each human by using technology and photography to represent and communicate to a broader diverse range. This could be ethnical assumptions as well as an emotional state of mind.

Additionally, the political intervention of AI and technology within photography of surveillance suggests that there is some sort of non diversity within the general society and this could be because of the underlining racism, sexism and discrimination that each country especially ours endures in everyday life.

Moving on from what I have learnt in my lecture of the intelligent image, there was further and additional reading to do and the link and short summary here https://www.excavating.ai/

I learned and understood that within this article the images are a technological invention, which is evolving every few minutes introducing new information and data from one or multiple sources by surveilling each and every one of us. It has also divided us into sectors by figuring out which economic background and class we are in. It rearrange and arranges us into technological sectors. Other than this the rest is pretty similar from what I have been discussing at the beginning of the blog.

In conclusion, the amount of what we see as a record is different to ( and we are not aware of) what significance it draws upon in the technological world, and how we are watched by robots each day of our lives.
