An intervention that reframes today’s AI habits through the lens of the seven deadly sins. Mixing bold visuals, satire and critical reflection, it sparks conversations about the hidden behaviours, dependencies and power structures shaping our relationship with AI.

This intervention explores how AI is reshaping everyday behaviour through the metaphor of the seven deadly sins. Rather than treating AI as a purely technical tool, it examines the emotional, social and economic dynamics that influence how we use and depend on these systems. Through a series of provocative theses, the work invites participants to question habits of convenience, overreliance, consumption and automation, while reflecting on who benefits from these patterns. The intervention is designed as a conversation starter, encouraging discussion about agency, responsibility and digital literacy. Instead of offering definitive answers, it creates space for critical reflection and exchange, helping audiences imagine more conscious, ethical and intentional relationships with AI.
