#MYFest23 Interesting article on "Slow Lane" change and the importance of creating trust when addressing inequities. https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2023/07/11/going-slow-means-changing-the-world-at-the-speed-of-trust/
For my Global Communication course many years ago, the course was structured around a project in which my class broke up into teams and developed an international conference on the classes choice of topic (they chose nanotechnology because at the time our uni had a program in it). Students organized registration, online speakers/presenters, and discussion groups. It was marginally successful but they learned a lot in the process.
My other Master degree was from a specialized uni with a large international and online population. The easiest way to keep in touch in by registering on the alumni site for updates/online discussion forum found on its website.
#Myfest23 3) Can machines think is an old debate. Many say no with EI. But just as important is how emotion is expressed and communicated which differs from culture to culture. Is anyone looking at the role of paralinguistics and AI?
#MYfest23 Working on a blog post on yesterday’s session of Questions and AI. Just some quick thoughts (as I lay sleepless in bed last night!)
1) Pia pointed out that by focusing on answers we miss the questions. But if we control the questions, we know the answers.2) what happens to smaller language discourse communities and the knowledge they hold with AI? As these communities are encouraged to depend more on tech & the internet, can AI be used to oppress or silence voices?
