[Air-L] Advice: pitching STS work to AI scientists (MG)

[Taylor-Smith, Ella]

Hi Maya,

It doesn't look as though you have any replies to the list, so here are my thoughts, based on doing case studies in a different area, but using STS-style (social informatics) approach.

There are undoubtaedly many people working in AI that take ethics very seriously -could you identify these practices and include them in your critical appraisal? You would be doing the AI community a service to map what's happening and the gaps in that map would fascinating from an STS perspective.

Hope this helps

Hi AOIR list,

I'm writing to ask for advice on pitching doctoral work
grounded in an STS approach to AI scientists at an ethics and society
conference. (They expressly ask for early stage PhD and Masters students
to apply). Does anyone have advice on how to shape work that is mostly
critical of how AI science approaches questions of ethics to the AI
science community itself? I imagine that anyone doing any kind of
critical STS work and engaging with scientists working in that
discipline might have insights and references. It would be nice to have
my abstract accepted, but I'm also interested in engaging with this
community.

Thanks,
Maya
