The brilliant Mo Wisdom is organizing the exhibition - Divesting from the Algorithms: A #BlackDirectory Showcase! This event discusses algorithmic bias while facilitating a space for creators and audiences to interrogate their experiences with algorithmically distributed content.

are you displeased with today’s AI safety evaluation landscape and curious about what greater conceptual clarity, methodological soundness, and rigour in AI evaluation could look like? if so, consider coming to Dublin to pursue a PhD with me apply here: aial.ie/hiring/phd-a... pls repost

$About the PhD: Audits and evaluation of AI systems — and the broader context that AI systems operate in — have become central to conceptualising, quantifying, measuring and understanding the operations, failures, limitations, underlying assumptions, and downstream societal implications of AI systems. Existing AI audit and evaluation efforts are fractured, done in a siloed and ad-hoc manner, and with little deliberation and reflection around conceptual rigour and methodological validity. This PhD is for a candidate that is passionate about exploring what a conceptually cogent, methodologically sound, and well-founded AI evaluation and safety research might look like. This requires grappling with questions such as: What does it mean to represent “ground truth” in proxies, synthetic data, or computational simulation? How do we reliably measure abstract and complex phenomena? What are the epistemological or methodological implications of quantification and measurement approaches we choose to employ? Particularly, what underlying presuppositions, values, or perspectives do they entail? How do we ensure the lived experiences of impacted communities play a critical role in the development and justification of measurement metrics and proxies? Through exploration of these questions, the candidate is expected to engage with core concepts in the philosophy of science, history of science, Black feminist epistemologies, and similar schools of thought to develop an in-depth understanding of existing practices with the aim of applying it to advance shared standards and best practice in AI evaluation. The candidate is expected to integrate empirical (for example, through analysis or evaluation of existing benchmarks) or practical (for example, by executing evaluation of AI systems) components into the overall work.$

The AIAI Network is hosting journalist and novelist Vauhini Vara on Thursday, October 16. She will give a talk titled “If Computers Can Write, Why Should We?” Her most recent book, Searches, investigates what is at stake—ethically, culturally, and for writing—with the rise of AI.

Excited to share my peer-reviewed article: “Rethinking Marriage: Blurring the ‘Legal’ and the ‘Social’” @lsijournal.bsky.social @universitypress.cambridge.org This article examines alternate legal reasoning to reimagine law and evidentiary protocols from the ground-up. doi.org/10.1017/lsi....

It’s been just over a month since I’ve been in NYC without needing to travel for work-the first time all year I’ve stayed in one place for this long. I really needed this time to feel grounded, to slow-read, to think, and write as much as possible before the Fall semester starts.

Like many writers, I’ve been using em dashes for years, and hate that people now dismiss/identify it as “AI.” My grad school writing coach taught me the value of em dashes and I feel terrible deleting them just to avoid looking like I use AI.

My best friend and I are celebrating our 30-year friendaversary this year. We met in playgroup when we were just 3 or 4 years old, studied together from school through undergrad, and still talk/text every single day. It’s one of the most cherished and meaningful relationships in my life. ❤️

Currently studying the ethical standpoint(s) of the term “al-ma’ruf” that’s often used in (Islamic) legal systems. It’s translated in English court records as “reasonable,” “kind,” “fair,” or “custom,” but I don’t think these interpretations capture the richness of this concept.

Knowing multiple languages is supposed to lead to a broader vocabulary and more expansive thinking. In my case, I’m not fluent in any language and mostly just muddle through using a mixed style. My English vocabulary and grammar are a mess; so is my Bangla. How is this fair!?🥲

Looking back, I’m glad I chose to double major in Communication and English during my undergrad. It taught me to approach questions using both social science and humanities methods, and to recognize where these perspectives align & differ- how methods shape the way we see and make sense of the world

I've been diving into translation theory, (re)reading Asad, Benjamin, Spivak, Apter, Nida, Baker, Venuti, Bassnett, Sakai, Silverstein, Herzfeld, Rubel & Rosman, and Delisle & Woodsworth. It's been incredibly fun and interesting! Welcome more reading suggestions!

Just got the typeset version of my upcoming @lsijournal.bsky.social article on marriage, evidence, & legal reasoning! Excited to publish! This piece holds traces of my early research with Prof Sally Merry when I first started working on legal pluralism #CriticalLegalStudies #LawAndSociety
