Fenwick McKelveyEtienne Grenier argues the need for explainablity can be gamed by making small applications, ones that helps avoid detailed descriptions of how the model works. An excellent point at #shiftingai, part of Team 🇨🇦 in #ShapingAI
Day 2 begins at #shiftingAI Loving the light, cold air and open windows at @WZB_Berlin Great spaces for ideas and to be a part of the #ShapingAI project
Maurice Jones shares efforts to build a (un)Shaping AI Machine, trying to develop ways to create new conditions of public participation around and with AI. #ShiftingAI #shapingai
Christian KatzenbachNext up: @bondykaye and Raquel Campos Valverde on musical taxonomies, recommendation and AI. What kinds of cultural visions, understandings and taxonomies of music are being fed to Al-powered tools? „If you ask the builders: I don't know. And It's not very good“ But it does do harm, lacks diversity, reinforces inequality.

While there are many papers still in the making and in review, an overview paper has been published as part of @simonlindgren's massive Handbook of Critical AI Studies: https://www.elgaronline.com/edcollchap/book/9781803928562/book-part-9781803928562-24.xml

Chapter 18: Imaginaries of artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) is considered a key technology in contemporary societies. Discursive and public imaginations play a pivotal role in envisioning and determining the trajectories of AI and its integration into society. Particularly, the approach of sociotechnical imaginaries offers a meaningful perspective to analyze the characteristics and impact of imaginaries surrounding technological advances. As AI seems to be in a formative phase, both as a technology and infrastructure as well as regarding its public perception, it is particularly relevant to understand how imaginaries impact economic, research, and political agendas, and who is pushing which agenda. Therefore, this chapter introduces the concept of imaginaries and offers a critical analytical framework to question imaginaries of AI. In addition, it provides an overview of current research on sociotechnical imaginaries around AI and related technological discourses considering relevant stakeholders, media representations, and public perceptions of the technology.
After lunch, we are continuing again with parallel tracks. In "Imaginaries of AI" the first talk comes from.our @zemki and @IKMZ
project on imaginaries of AI in GER, USA, and China. Vanessa Richter is presenting the conceptual approach and empirical results from our interview sub-study in all three countries
WZB BerlinIt's a pity that as an online editor, you can't attend all conferences at the WZB. This is a very important one. Today is the #ShiftingAI conference, organized by

Now we are diving into the conference programme, with two parallel tracks. AI and education, and AI and Labour. I am attending the latter, currently with Tuukka Lehtiniemi and Minna Ruckenstein on debates on AI and labour with an emprical focus on data/AI work in prisons (and the wonderful programmatic title „Society is not merely a landing site for AI technologies“) (4/x) #shapingAI #shiftingAI
We kicked off the conference with an opening panel feat. @LouiseAmoore and Christian Pentzold, discussing how we (should) think and talk about AI. For me, the Q of generativity (or nor) of AI was one of the main theme. Is Generative AI a generative technology just like the Internet (as @Zittrain famously argues) or electricity (3/x)? #ShiftingAI #ShapingAI

Chrys Vilvang, #Concordia University, gets a lot of nods from the audience when asking who uses an iPhone. Everyone, everyday is relying on AI to curate their memories. #shiftingai #shapingai
