Abstract
“The Bigger Picture” is an Art-Science collaboration that addresses public perception and misconceptions surrounding Artificial Intelligence (AI) through a series of participatory workshops, analysis, artist commissions and exhibitions that took place during Ireland’s Science Week 2024. Inclusion, engagement and information are key to increasing AI literacy. Entering such a vast conversation through the tangible process of 'making an image' can demystify concepts such as generative AI, how AI can be used and where information comes from. "The Bigger Picture" approach encourages a reshaping of how we view AI in our everyday lives, and prompts thought about the kind of AI we want into the future. In this paper, we present the evaluation of The Bigger Picture’s methodology which involves co-creating and exhibiting new images of AI that enhance public understanding, and are true to the current realities of AI and its presence in our day-to-day lives.
