The early computer power was calculated in
kilo-girl, which is a unit equal to the calculation ability of 1000 women.
Kilo-girls is a collection of computer generated poems which reflect programmed biases. Prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination is not confined to the human experience, but inherited by the technologies we create as well. In this project, biases in software mirror the age-old prejudices of our society. There is a necessity for more ethical AI development, because algorithmic outputs select and filter content that may influence users and their view on the social world.
