Thinking outside of the AI Black box.

These same abilities humans are now trying to emulate with machines, and they are in fact the core components of Artificial Intelligence (AI), one of the most important technical developments of our era. This technology is transforming knowledge, work, governance and the core of our daily lives, and as the sophistication of these systems increases, especially with the advent of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), I would argue the human understanding of these systems is decreasing. A need is rising to bring to this field the HCI (Human Computer Interaction) human centered design approach, and within this paper I will suggest the possibilities how art and creative thought together with HCI expertise, can help broaden the current spectrum of AI, it's accessibility and possibly be a joint venture to imagine what AI could become. As humans started developing their ability of self-introspection around 40 thousand years ago, they have used art to communicate, evoke emotions, recall past events and communicate. These cognitive abilities have helped humans survive and evolve as a species, putting into use tools of memory, language, understanding, reasoning, learning, pattern recognition and expression.
