SUMMARY:'Responsible AI Futures' Hybrid Seminar Series - Dr Bronwyn Jones
DESCRIPTION:What’s new in news? How AI is impacting journalism\nThe use of AI systems in newsrooms and across society is shifting the terrain in which journalism operates and changing what it means to make and consume news. We’re recommended personalised articles based on datafied readings of our behaviour\, while our clicks drive analytics that shape editorial decisions about what to report. Deepfakes and mis- and dis-information creep into our social news feeds and pose increasingly intractable verification challenges for journalists. From monitoring online sources\, to transcribing interviews and processing data for investigations\, AI-driven automation of rote tasks has become commonplace. However as news organisations rapidly adopt generative AI\, they are increasingly delegating core processes of communication and meaning making to machines. In this talk\, Bronwyn weaves together three strands of her current work which spans practice\, research\, and policy. She asks: what happens if we co-write the ‘first draft of history’ with AI? If we semi-automate this ‘cornerstone of democracy’? And how might we innovate responsibly with AI for journalism in the public interest? \n\n\nBio\nDr Bronwyn Jones is a social scientist and journalist. As a Translational Fellow for the Bridging Responsible AI Divides (BRAID) programme\, she researches artificial intelligence and data-driven technologies in news production and their implications for the public sphere in democracies. As a DCMS Policy Fellow\, she is exploring the risks generative AI poses for journalism as an industry and form of knowledge production. At the BBC\, she covers regional news online and works with the research and development department to help newsrooms navigate technological change. Bronwyn is focused on fostering fruitful collaboration and translation between academia and industry; she works to ensure theory and evidence inform the development of public interest-driven socio-technical systems in the media industry\, and on-the-ground realities inform scholarly debate. \nX – @bronwynjo \n\n\nWatch the recording now:

SUMMARY:'Responsible AI Futures' Hybrid Seminar Series - Dr Elinor Carmi
DESCRIPTION:A Feminist Critique to Digital and AI Consent\nThis talk presents a feminist critique to digital and AI consent and argues that the current system is flawed. The online surveillance adtech industry that funds the web had to use a mechanism that commodifies people\, rendering their behaviors into data – products that can be sold and traded for the highest bidder. In this way\, digital consent serves as an authorizing and legalizing instrument to the business model of spying\, selling and trading people in the online ecosystem. This then helps to fuel the AI industry that uses these data as training data for the generation of text\, image and video. Using four key feminist approaches – process\, embodiment\, network and context – this talk argues that digital consent is a mechanism that transfers responsibility to people and enables exploitative-extractivist markets to exist. Consequently\, the broader educational effects of digital consent produces people as products with narrow agency and understanding. \n\n\n\n\nBio\nDr Elinor Carmi is a Senior Lecturer in Data Justice and Social Justice at the Sociology & Criminology Department at City University\, London\, UK. Dr Carmi is a digital rights advocate\, feminist\, researcher and journalist who has been working\, writing and teaching on data politics\, data literacies\, feminist approaches to media and data\, data justice and internet governance. Currently Dr Carmi works on the Nuffield Foundation project “Developing a Minimum Digital Living Standard”. Dr Carmi’s work contributes to emerging debates in academia\, policy\, health organisations and digital activism. She was a Parliamentary Academic Fellowship working with the UK’s Digital\, Culture\, Media & Sport Committee\, as well as gave evidence on Digital Literacy for the House of Lords Committee on Democracy and Digital Technologies. In 2020\, Dr Carmi was invited by the World Health Organization (WHO) as an expert on data literacy and disinformation to the first scientific discussion on infodemiology. \nX – @Elinor_Carmi; \nMastodon – @drPinkeee@assemblag.es \nBluesky -@elinorcarmi.bsky.social \nWatch the recording now:
