AI Ragione Tu: exploring AI bias through a (serious) game

The idea

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere. It writes, answers, suggests. But how often do we stop and ask: where do those answers come from?With AI Ragione Tu, YellowSquare created an interactive experience to explore AI bias through a playful and accessible format. Developed together with Banano Studio, writers, and activists, the event aimed to turn a complex and often distant topic into an engaging game that mixed critical thinking, creativity, and participation.
The project was created as part of L’Eredità delle Donne OFF festival in Florence, a context that made reflection on representation, equality, and culture even more meaningful.

Putting AI to the test

Hosted at YellowSquare Florence, the event brought together voices such as Esmeralda Moretti, Francesco Pacifico, Viola Valéry Giacalone, and Alessia Dulbecco.
Through unexpected questions and creative prompts, speakers challenged artificial intelligence in real time, pushing it to reveal its limits, contradictions, and hidden biases.
But the real protagonists were the participants. The audience was invited to vote, react, and actively test the algorithm, transforming the event into a collective and interactive experience rather than a traditional talk.

Bias after bias

What emerged was clear: AI is not neutral.
Every output generated by artificial intelligence reflects the data, cultures, and people behind it. Technology may appear objective, but it is still shaped by human choices, perspectives, and systems. AI Ragione Tu became a shared moment of awareness: an opportunity to better understand artificial intelligence by questioning it together.
