In this episode of AI Ignited, host Elif Baser speaks with Beyza Altan about a strange
and fascinating frontier: the uncanny valley of objects. They explore what happens
when AI-generated furniture, clothing, or interfaces look almost right—but not
quite—and why this subtle wrongness unsettles us.
From MIT Media Lab experiments to design schools using generative AI for fashion and furniture, researchers are asking how these uncanny designs affect trust, usability, and creativity. Is this eerie
aesthetic a design flaw to be fixed—or a new space for artistic innovation?
 Tune in to discover how AI is reshaping the way we perceive the objects around us.
