Abstract:
This paper presents “AI Nüshu,” an emerging language system inspired by Nüshu (women’s scripts), the unique language created and used exclusively by ancient Chinese women who were illiterate under a patriarchy society. In this interactive installation, two artificial intelligence (AI) agents are trained in the Chinese dictionary and Nüshu corpus. By continually observing their environment and communicating with each other, these agents collaborate towards creating a common writing system to encode Chinese. It offers an artistic interpretation of the creation of a non-western script from a computational linguistics perspective, integrating AI technology with Chinese cultural heritage and a feminist viewpoint.
