SUMMARY:AI\, Race\, and Chinese Gaming Technologies
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT When Japanese game producer Hideo Kojima lamented that
  it is very difficult to "turn Asian people into CG\," his frustration poi
 nted not to some ineffable anatomical complexity of Asian physiognomy but 
 to the racial bias already embedded in prevailing face rendering technolog
 ies that increasingly incorporate AI. This talk investigates how AI recode
 s "Asian" faces into operative images in games\, with particular attention
  to the scientific paradigms and epistemological convictions that underpin
  such recoding. It focuses on three Chinese deep learning models that reor
 ganize facial information and redistribute semantic significance on digita
 l faces. Tracing these models' scientific foundations through histories of
  physiology\, psychology\, and emotion science\, I examine how the game me
 dium algorithmically inscribes race and ethnicity onto digital objects as 
 what I call a "human bug." ABOUT THE SPEAKER Yedong Sh-Chen received his P
