Based on various technologies such as computer vision, Unity, Arduino, and VR, she works on potential threats and paradoxes that can arise as media technology advances and is actively utilized. Facial recognition technology, used to prevent potential terrorism, can also rather threaten personal information and individual portrait rights and lead to unintended discrimination of individuals. In addition, companies use AI to lock users in an endless stream of products and information similar to identified user predilections.
