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
