Artificial Intelligence – Me, Myself & AI

Understand how algorithms think and create

Look inside the black box of algorithms to see how machine learning actually works!

How do neural networks learn from experience? Can machines recognize human emotions, or write music that moves us? In Me, Myself & AI, you interact directly with computer vision models, train reinforcement algorithms, and debate the social ethics of automated decision making.

Exhibition Highlights

  • Computer vision station analyzing facial expressions and micro-gestures
  • Live neural network digit classifier showing real-time feature extraction
  • Reinforcement learning robot maze solver demonstrating trial and reward
  • Generative AI music and art co-creation stations for all ages

Hands-on Discovery Stations

Demystify artificial intelligence through direct hands-on experimentation:

Computer Vision Emotion Classifier

Step in front of neural vision cameras and see how convolutional layers identify smiles, eyebrow raises, and micro-expressions.

Draw-a-Digit Neural Network

Sketch handwritten numbers on a tablet and watch neural hidden layers illuminate as the network calculates classification probabilities.

Reinforcement Learning Maze

Watch an algorithmic agent navigate a virtual maze, learning from bump penalties until it discovers the optimal path.

Generative Harmony Station

Play simple melodies on a MIDI keyboard and hear an AI model dynamically invent accompaniment harmonies in classical or synth styles.

Scientific Principles & Phenomena

Demystifies machine learning concepts: artificial neural networks, training loss functions, computer vision convolutions, dataset bias, and algorithmic ethics.

Experience the difference between classic rule-based software ("if this, then that") and modern machine learning where networks adjust millions of numerical weights through gradient descent. Discover how biased training datasets inadvertently produce biased predictions, and why human oversight remains indispensable.

Did you know?

Computers do not "think" or "feel"; they perform billions of mathematical calculations on weighted numbers. Understanding how algorithms make decisions is the key to creating safe, fair, and beneficial AI.

Exhibit Highlights & History

Created in partnership with leading Finnish technology universities and AI researchers to give citizens an intuitive, non-technical understanding of technologies shaping the 21st century.
