Where do humans still outperform AI?


November 2024 ~ ongoing

In collaboration with: Sugano Laboratory


The goal of the AICOM Project is to create ways for the public and researchers to interact with and develop AI together. In order to discover the gaps in AI’s knowledge, we are making a game that allows the public to create data to be used to evaluate AI. 


In this two player game, players work together to create descriptions of images that humans understand but AI doesn’t. Through this, we create a dataset of images and human-written descriptions that challenge current AI systems. 



Research Inspiration


Sugano Laboratory researches computer vision and artificial intelligence. As AI becomes more widespread, it becomes increasingly important to identify the limitations in current systems. A seemingly minor gap in knowledge may not affect the majority of users, but to a small minority, this may be a huge problem. To make AI systems that can serve diverse needs across society, we need to better understand these gaps in their capabilities.




Data Collection through Gamification


Gathering data through a game allows players to have fun while also contributing to the improvement of AI. Through many iterations of prototyping and user testing, we aim to strike a balance between gathering quality data while also making it a fun and rewarding experience.


The game is collaborative, with two players working together to try to beat AICOM-chan.
