[Air-L] AI Justice Public Lecture - Professor Sanjay Sharma on Inclusive AI - 25 Feb at 17:00

[Gavin Duffy]

Hello,
I am very happy to invite you to the upcoming session in the community lecture series run by the School of Media, Communications and Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths. This session is convened by the AI Justice research strand.
The upcoming talk is on Wednesday 25 February, 17:00-18:30 (GMT), with Professor Sanjay Sharma (University of Warwick) discussing his research on Inclusive Futures? Radical Ethics & Transformative Justice for Responsible AI, part of the Bridging Responsible AI Divides (BRAID) Fellowship.
This will be held in person on the Goldsmiths campus at the Professor Stuart Hall Building (LG01) from 17:00-18:30. There will also be a Teams stream of this lecture, the link for which can be found here<https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/39253325176553?p=d5GIySM3WGSoWtNSFM>.
This talk will discuss how we can trouble AI, including through centring voices and knowledges which have been excluded from AI’s development, challenging dominant narratives of what ‘responsible AI’ looks like and whose interests are served by these visions. Drawing on critical data studies, speculative design, and abolitionist thought, Inclusive Futures brings to the fore an essential yet under-researched aspect of contemporary AI systems: their increasingly colonial and racialised ideologies. In participation with community-led social justice organisations and networks advocating for equity in AI, Inclusive Futures employs speculative, participatory methods for re-imagining AI from a bottom-up, justice-oriented perspective.
Further information about the event can be found here<https://www.gold.ac.uk/calendar/?id=15829>.
These sessions are open to everyone so please do come along if you're interested. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know at g.duffy at gold.ac.uk<mailto:g.duffy at gold.ac.uk>.
Thank you very much,
Gavin Duffy
