SUMMARY:Truth\, Trust and Trickery in the AI Age
DESCRIPTION:Can you seek out what’s true in today’s tsunami of AI slop? Generative AI is prompting an information crisis as fakes and fiction flood social media and chatbot hallucinations pollute our news streams. We’ll help you navigate this new frontier of video\, image and language generation. In our interactive workshop you’ll learn from the BBC Blue Room about the latest tools and techniques and tackle dilemmas as a journalist in our pop-up newsroom. \nPresented by BRAID\, BBC R&D\, and The University of Edinburgh as part of Edinburgh Science Festival. \nImage credit: \nRose Willis & Kathryn Conrad / A Rising Tide Lifts All Bots / Licenced by CC-BY 4.0

SUMMARY:AI Futures Hack: Creating Radical Infrastructures
DESCRIPTION:Design alternative community-oriented AI infrastructures in a hackathon examining energy systems\, reparative models\, and DIY tech. \nWhat could the future of AI infrastructure look like? Inspired by critical African/AfroFuturisms\, Transfeminist futurology and piercing prophecies of CripTech\, the AfroFutures_UK collective\, in association with University of Sussex will host a day spent examining\, coding and hacking away to build community-oriented infrastructures of future AI. Part unconference\, part hackathon\, the day will be spent looking at the following strands: \n\n\n\n\nEnergy infrastructures – Creating solution architecture for technology that can give back what it receives\nReparations as requirement – Digging into ways that replenishment\, regeneration and liability impact should feed into AI system requirements whilst building to meet those criteria\nBricolage hardware – Repurposing old tech\, the unrecyclable\, and more to build the physical infrastructure to support AI alternatives\n\nIf you are interested in contributing to the preceding online design jams\, get in touch: afrofutures.uk@gmail.com. \nAI FUTURES HACK: CREATING RADICAL INFRASTRUCTURES is a special episode of the Sussex Digital Humanities Lab Digital Methods Accelerator programme\, it is supported by BRAID UK and AfroFutures_UK. \nThis event is free and open to all\, but registration is required. Refreshments will be provided. \nBook now
