[Air-L] Call for submissions: A New AI Lexicon

[Sarah Myers West]

Dear all,

I'm excited to share that my colleagues Noopur Raval and Amba Kak today
launched a new project: A New AI Lexicon: Responses and Challenges to the
Critical AI Discourse
<https://medium.com/a-new-ai-lexicon/a-new-ai-lexicon-responses-and-challenges-to-the-critical-ai-discourse-f2275989fa62>.
The project aims to expand and revise critical AI thinking by attending to
global racial histories, diverse queer movements, struggles of caste and
tribe communities, and their specific place-based demands especially
outside of the West. We need a more expansive stocktaking of race and
gender relations as well as the variegated forms of marginalization
globally.

*As part of this project, we are inviting short essays that address or
challenge a dominant concept, metaphor, or keyword along which critical AI
thinking is currently undertaken *(like Fairness, Transparency,
Accountability, Bias, Auditing, Ghost Labor, Explainability, Social Good
etc.). *Or  identify new terms or formulations currently  missing from the
discourse.*

We encourage academics, activists, journalists and others, especially early
career or junior colleagues researching global AI histories, materialities
and futures to apply. We are able to offer financial support to a limited
number of contributors, and the submission guidelines are available here: A
New AI Lexicon Project
<https://medium.com/a-new-ai-lexicon/a-new-ai-lexicon-responses-and-challenges-to-the-critical-ai-discourse-f2275989fa62>
.

If you have any questions, or know someone who would be a good fit for this
project, please feel free to reach out to Noopur (noopur at ainowinstitute.org)
or Amba (amba at ainowinstitute.org).

Thanks very much,

--
