Online Open Session: Ethical and Epistemic Questions in the Era of AI Date: 7 October Time: 17:00 "the session invites participants to critically reflect on the language, assumptions, and material structures surrounding so-called artificial intelligence" melcilab.cicant.ulusofona.pt/news/ethical...

Online Open Session: Ethical and Epistemic Questions in the Era of AI
Date: 7 October
Time: 17:00
Venue: Link Online via Microsoft Teams

On 7 October at 17:00, MeLCi Lab will host the online session Ethical and Epistemic Questions in the Era of AI, featuring Dr Daniel Cardoso. Held via Microsoft Teams, the session invites participants to critically reflect on the language, assumptions, and material structures surrounding so-called artificial intelligence. The talk will examine the ethical, epistemic, political, and economic implications of generative technologies, challenging technologically deterministic understandings of their development and use.
Abstract

Epistemology – understood as a precondition to the attribution of truth value to any given statement – requires us to understand the constraints and traditions that different words bring to a debate, just as ethics requires us to consider the symbolic and material impacts of our actions, including the performativity of the words we use.
Engaging with two of the most complex concepts in both the Social Sciences and Humanities – ‘Artificial’ and ‘Intelligence’ – this talk joins a growing number of academic work that argues for scholars to stop using this misnomer, in the name of both ethics, and scientific accuracy.
It then moves to consider the materiality of probabilistic generative models as deeply reliant on embodied human activity, and on maximising extractive processes that involve both human and more-than-human processes, while simultaneously working to obfuscate that dependency.
In this sense, “critical AI literacies” can be perceived as an oxymoron, but also as a conceptual artefact produced through the attempted epistemic shifts brought about by the neoliberal deployment of probabilistic generative models.
Emphasising the political, material and economic context of the deployment of any technology is fundamental to preclude tecnodeterministic facile analyses – and, equally so, to understand how the sam…

See NYT asked me for an op-ed on the Colorado River water issue. So that's what I told them. And the editors panicked & cancelled the piece. In case we're wondering why "nobody can figure out how to solve this difficult issue." We absolutely can, a lot of our professional talkers are just cowards.
