Alexia Achilleos holds a MA in Cultural & Creative Industries from King’s College London, a Grad Dip in Archaeology from University College London and a BA in Fine Art from the University of East London. She is a Research Associate/PhD fellow at ITICA MRG, undertaking practice-based PhD studies on the impact of AI on Cypriot society, from a feminist and decolonial perspective. By investigating data and utilising machine learning processes, often in a historical context, she aims to re-examine such topics from a different perspective. Her work re-interprets dominant narratives and questions biases found within history and society, but also within AI technology itself, particularly challenging the idea of technology as universal and objective. She has participated in exhibitions and conferences such as Ars Electronica festival, NeMe Arts Centre, Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), NeurIPS Workshop on Machine Learning for Creativity and Design, and at the World Intellectual Property Organisation.
