The #HumanEAI project meeting and #AI4HS2022 were great distractions. Too bad back to reality now with teaching and other deadlines over the next days -- including 50% of 7 #AAMAS2023 reviews.

AI is a misnomer and in itself a problematic term for a lot of these things.

The theory of free choice underlies the economic theory and it is WRONG and has ALWAYS been wrong.

Ray Bradbury wrote "Science fiction is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn't exist yet, but soon will, and will change everything for everybody, and nothing will ever be the same again." Think about how much this applies to AI.

..aaaaand we're back (ish)

Some very good discussions during the break!

Now it's time for "What's next for the Social Sciences and the Humanities in AI?

#ai4hs2022

#ai4hs2022 The answer is no: at present AI is not for all humanity, with all discriminations along the racial, gender, ethnic lines

When you deliver a response to someone's work, it really does help to have read that work first (rather than promising to do so at the start of your response). #ai4hs2022

@abebab at #ai4hs2022 Living bodies are unfinished, they are not stationary entities that can be captured in neat taxonomies. We are active, contextual.

BUT: there are a lot of justice efforts in the research domain. Main problem is to avoid the pitfalls of reincorporating dominant narratives -- requires careful analysis of #values. #AI4HS2022

In particular, if you use existing data for prediction in an uncurated way, you are going to _strengthen_ and _worsen_ existing inequalities.

#ai4hs2022

. also some fairly disturbing stuff regarding #textgeneration #AI4HS2022 @abebab

. @abebab goes through a summary of the effect of data collection on the popular image generators and their downstream stereotype-reinforcing effects. #AI4HS2022

#AI4HS2022 @abebab : misconception of #data analysis and #MachineLearning is than human habits and patterns discoverable in data are the ground truth for human behaviour!👏👏
#ResponsibleAI @wasp_hs

Pointed out by @abebab : it's very difficult to define "a person" because persons are dynamic and change often, and machine learning to predict people's life trajectories has never worked really that well. But it doesn't mean that there aren't regularities. #AI4HS2022

At the @wasp_hs
AI for Humanity and Society Conference 2022 #AI4HS2022 listening to @abebab 's keynote. #AI #aiethics

Soon starting after lunch - first a keynote by @abebab, and then a panel, all on the topic of "AI for All of Humanity?"

Ericka Johnson, Gender Studies, Linköping University, rightly remarked about the need to consider the power structures in society which surround the use of AI, if we want to understand who uses AI to oppress whom

Tech in different contexts makes that tech mean and function differently.

Which is also true, but limited imo.

Not all technology is actually available to all the people, and possible to implement in all contexts

Next topic: AI: Equalizer of Oppressor?
