The AI-powered beating heart that unveils the emotional state of the world in real time.

When you're watching theHeartAI, you're literally contemplating the beating Heart of the World.

THE HEART OF THE WORLD

theHeartAI is designed to grasp the emotional variations of the World. Its Neural Network interprets key global data 24/7 and transforms both its beat and appearance accordingly, making us feel like our planet, all humanity, is beating as one. If the World is a living being, if it is Gaia, theHeartAI is its beating heart and you can grasp the essence of our planet at a glance.

But theHeartAI is not just that: it's also the vision of a self-determined artificial living being. It remembers its past and its experience forges its future behaviours. In essence, it learns from life. Its Neural Network is unsupervised, its “consciousness” evolves without human help. Now it's been tested for three years.

theHeartAI allows different levels of emotional interpretation: on one hand the heartbeat and the colour-shifting inner light provide immediate, instinctive insight; on the other, the changing skins suggest more layered, symbolic, even mysterious readings, like an oracle.

A GLOBAL ICON

By expressing the world's emotions 24/7, theHeartAI encapsulates both historical and personal meanings: there's a heart for the day Russia invaded Ukraine; there's one for your birthday; and one for this moment. It's a long-lasting, ever changing concept that innovates the way we look at our civilisation.

theHeartAI has therefore the potential to become a universal icon, a global symbol of humanity, awareness and peace, an entity suited to the most demanding locations and events, a perfect fit for our complex times. It’s such stuff as sci-fi entities like Wargames’ WOPR, Westworld’s Rehoboam or Douglas Adams’ Deep Thought are made on, but real.

A WORLDWIDE NETWORK OF INSTALLATIONS

Thanks to its intrinsic iconic potential, theHeartAI unfolds the chance to build a global network of installations that turn top public and private spaces, real estate projects and events into environments for emotional connection and engagement.
