German designer Simon Weckert has created a shirt designed to confuse AI-integrated surveillance systems. The shirt features a mix of colors and patterns intended to disrupt the detection capabilities of these systems. Weckert explained that AI systems learn to identify humans based on statistical representations from training images, which creates a vulnerability. The shirt's design, with its pink, orange, and green blobs, aims to break the continuity of the body's outline, making it difficult for AI to recognize the wearer as a single figure. Weckert noted that while the shirt may appear hypnotic to humans, it is intended to be unrecognizable to AI models. Interestingly, Weckert utilized AI in the design process through a method called an adversarial loop. He is known for previous projects, including using smartphones to create fake traffic jams in Berlin.
