Are you a wizard or a fighter? Let artificial intelligence decide
Through the Biometric DnD project researchers want to encourage a discussion about the ethics of these forms of AI.
University of Melbourne researchers are exploring the intersection of facial recognition technology and the Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) gaming experience as part of Melbourne Knowledge Week 2021.
As part of the Biometric D&D project, researchers have created an application that uses a photo of someone’s face to create personalised attributes for a game character.
The project uses a single photo and facial recognition technology to determine scores for strength, dexterity, constitution, intelligence, wisdom and charisma. Artificial Intelligence (AI) assigns a class such as wizard or fighter, determining if the character is perceived as good or evil.
