SUMMARY:Artificial Artificial Intelligence: In conversation with Allan McCay
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Join us online for a conversation with Dr Allan McCay on AI\, neurotechnology and the future of law.” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Join Dr Allan McCay\, Deputy Director of The Sydney Institute of Criminology and an Academic Fellow at the University of Sydney’s Law School\, in conversation about his work on AI\, neurotechnology and the future of law with ADM+S Research Fellow Dr Ash Watson. \nMcCay’s diverse scholarship examines the ways that emerging neurotechnologies may challenge and expand the criminal law. Leaping from applications which aim treat conditions such as epilepsy through neural electrical stimulation\, speculative designs include implants with the capacity to prevent deviant behaviours and augment memories. McCay’s work highlights how the virtual reality of The Matrix has clear parallels with current experiments testing such designs that result in hallucinating mice. \nHis short story ‘Vulcan’ (2023\, Bits/Bytes/Dreams) constructs a fantasy descent from the current rise in everyday automation technologies. Set in a future liberated from the burden of decisions\, the story is animated by weighty themes of choice\, agency and companionship. It features in Bits/Bytes/Dreams\, a new anthology of sociological fiction on the theme of tomorrow’s technologies. Fourteen short stories\, drawn from the archives of So Fi Zine and Fiction @ The Sociological Review\, together explore pressing sociotechnical issues and reimagine the digital future. Bits/Bytes/Dreams is openly accessible online.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1653971328879{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”About the speakers” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”18749″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_circle_2″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_column_text]Dr Allan McCay \nFormerly a commercial litigator\, McCay was named by Australasian Lawyer as one of the most influential lawyers of 2021 for his work on neurotechnology and the law.

SUMMARY:Sexy Messy: A Digital Sexual Cultures Symposium
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”This symposium seeks to move beyond research and discussion about the neat categorisations found within sex (and gender) research by exploring how digital sexual cultures can be sites of hope\, complexity\, and contestation.” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Sexy Messy is an online symposium about digital sexual cultures that is aimed at Higher Degree Researchers (HDR) and Early Career Researchers (ECR). We want this symposium to be the beginning of an ongoing network for collaboration\, connection\, and care amongst HDR and ECR’s who research digital sexual cultures. \nJust like the physical act of sex itself\, participating in\, understanding\, and navigating digital sexual cultures can be messy. Norms within these sites can be confusing\, comforting\, and educational. Here\, identities\, desires\, and the search for information and intimacy intersect with platform governance\, surveillance\, and commercial interests. Participation in digital cultures can afford users the safety to explore different ways of being\, feeling\, and connecting (Tiidenberg and van Nagel 2020). However\, the affordances of these spaces often enable racism\, ableism\, homophobia\, transphobia\, misogyny\, and violence (Albury et al\, 2021; Carlson\, 2020). Similarly\, while everyday data cultures and algorithms can open us up to new possibilities\, they also shape and restrict how our gender and sexual identities and desires appear in digital spaces (Burgess et al\, 2022; Farrell\, 2021). \nAs researchers\, we want to explore how digital sexual cultures can be sites of hope\, complexity\, and contestation. We invite research that sits with\, rather than shuts down\, this messiness and imagines a messy (but hopeful) future for digital sexual cultures. Attending to the ‘messy’ does not deny the severity of violence that occurs within digital sexual cultures\, nor does it mean ignoring the ‘bad’ in search of the ‘good’. Rather\, it asks us to consider the complex affective and embodied experiences that resist neat categorisation and push beyond normative and disciplinary boundaries. What insights do the ambivalences and ambiguities of digital sexual cultures offer into shifting gender and sexuality norms and practices? How can we imagine and do research that better opens up the productive possibilities and tensions for knowing\, doing and feeling in digital sexual cultures? How do we hold space for considerations of risk and violence\, whilst also attending to the diversity of experiences\, identities\, and desires? \nKeynotes within this symposium include: \n\nDr Emily van der Nagel\nDr Andy Farrell\nA reflective conversation between Prof Kath Albury and Dr Paul Byron\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1597387665503{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 75px !important;background-color: #151617 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Location” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]The event will run on Zoom and a private discord server between 9.30am– 5pm (AEST) on 17 May 2023.

SUMMARY:Queer social sorting: Control and resistance in China’s LGBTQ+ activism
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Join us for a public talk with Ausma Bernot on China’s queer social sorting methods that include both automated decision-making and the use of human labour in enforcing queer “othering”.” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Since 2013\, LGBTQ+ activism in China has been progressively hampered by sophisticated queer social sorting methods that include both automated decision-making and the use of human labour in enforcing queer “othering”. \nOn the surface\, China’s authorities maintain formal decorum and formulaic support for LGBTQ+ communities. Non-discrimination can be argued on the basis of formal UN announcements confirming China’s stance against LGBTQ+ discrimination as well as the gradual thawing of national laws that restrict LGBTQ+ communities\, such as the recent 2022 regulations lowering the minimum age requirements for gender affirming surgery from 20 to 18. Concurrently\, suppression of LGBTQ+ activism exists under the surface of international and national political decorum. \nThe state-sponsored control of queer activism is now increasingly linked to two elements: China’s call to return to traditional gender roles and social sorting of queer activism. \nQueer social sorting is achieved through an interconnected means of the legal and regulatory frames\, public and state security monitoring and harassment\, and digital surveillance. This talk will unpack the web of those practices with a particular focus on inclusion of automated decision-making and the power dynamics they entrench.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1653971328879{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”About the speaker” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”17887″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_circle_2″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_column_text]Ausma Bernot \nAusma Bernot is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Australian Graduate School of Policing & Security\, Charles Sturt University.

SUMMARY:Trust\, Mistrust and AI: Intimacy\, Consent\, Affect
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”A collaborative academic workshop for researchers\, creatives\, and practitioners in artificial intelligence and automated decision-making” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Trust might take as its object another person\, or a social reputation\, a specific technology\, or a corporation. Trust’s affects take form in these specific relations\, as belief or ideation\, as knowledge\, confidence or ‘ontological security’\, though might also be more loosely felt\, such as in the trust that things will turn out all right. Institutions of intimacy\, such as sex\, friendship\, family and the romantic relationship\, are powerful organisers of people’s perceptions of trust—of who\, how and when to trust. Equally\, it is through the institutions of intimacy that we learn to consent. For example\, we cannot be forced to trust\, but must consent to trust. \nThe increasing mediation of intimate relationships and encounters by AI technologies\, from social media algorithms to location services\, are in turn mediating social perceptions and affective realities of trust. This workshop considers the role of intimacy and consent in furthering our understanding of how uses of automated decision-making (ADM) within intimate life are pivotal to the wholescale remediation of social life more generally. Such a challenge requires thinking about the dynamic between trust and mistrust\, when trust itself becomes an object of scrutiny.

SUMMARY:International Conference on Automated Decision-Making and Chinese Societies
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”The international conference on automated decision-making and Chinese societies (ADM & CS) will bring together global researchers and students doing cutting-edge research on digital China\, particularly in the field of automated decision-making and society in the Chinese contexts.” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]China’s rise as a digital superpower has been part of the story about the country’s second coming as the “Central Kingdom” and of Xi Jinping’s “Chinese Dream”. Beijing’s digital strategy is multi-dimensional. It is technological—automated decision-making (ADM) technologies and systems\, comprising an array of intelligent and emerging technologies from artificial intelligence\, machine learning\, to blockchain\, are used to innovate social governance\, service provision\, transport/mobility\, and knowledge production across many sectors. It is also beyond the technological to encompass a wide range of areas in social\, institutional\, cultural\, legal and ethical domains. The imperative for COVID-19 pandemic control provides the perfect pretext for the expansive use of ADM by the bio-surveillance Party-state. \nThe ramification of the digital revolution is not bound by any geographic boundaries\, even though it is constrained by the geopolitics of China’s rise as the new technological superpower. New forms of ADM systems are experimented in China—often pioneered by its tech giants like Huawei\, DJI\, Hikvision\, and BAT (Baidu\, Alibaba\, and Tencent) with the state’s support—such as the social credit system (and associated technological systems) in a gigantic social experiment with digital governance\, often in combination with and implemented through low-tech or non-tech means. A new global digital architecture and order is taking shape\, as exemplified by the many infrastructural projects through the digital silk road initiative\, from undersea cables and 5G equipment and networks to communications satellites (China’s version of SpaceX’s Starlink). China has seized the opportunity to leapfrog from being a follower to a competitor and leader in the design\, control\, and use of ADM technologies and systems. It is also competing with Western (American) powers to control huge amount of data internationally\, and by extension resources\, ideas\, intelligence\, and power. \nThe international conference on Automated Decision-Making and Chinese Societies (ADM & CS) encourages people to look beyond “China” as a singular\, unified entity\, which can be “sliced” along human\, geographical\, political\, or economic variables. Similarly\, “Chinese” can mean different things to different Chinese diasporic communities around the world\, often defined and redefined along the routes (instead of roots) of Chinese migrants (of generations)\, visitors\, investors\, entrepreneurs\, engineers\, and workers. Hence\, the conference encourages an expansive interpretation of “Chinese societies” in their plural\, evolving\, and diverse forms\, who are sometimes centrifugal and other times centripetal in relation to the People’s Republic of China. \nThis event will be held in-person at RMIT University\, Melbourne and online. \n#ADMCS2023[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1651627344946{padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}” el_class=”yellowBox”][vc_btn title=”VIEW PROGRAM” style=”custom” custom_background=”#ffd600″ custom_text=”#000000″ size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.admscentre.org.au%2Fadm-cs-program%2F|title:ADM%26CS%20Conference%20Program|target:_blank”][vc_btn title=”VIEW RECORDINGS” style=”custom” custom_background=”#ffffff” custom_text=”#000000″ size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fplaylist%3Flist%3DPLE_y90GftjpburzhCPELZrPLmZ5PEHCq7″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”THEMES” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]The ADM & CS conference will address the following thematic questions: \n\nHow is ADMS understood in the Chinese context?

For example\, will China’s Personal Information Protection Law set a global standard in regulating Internet platforms conducting automated decision-making through algorithms?\nWhat’s China’s role in the current debates on frameworks in governing data security\, rights or ownership\, ethics\, and transactions?\nWhat are the new\, emerging or hidden dynamics and politics in Chinese communities around the world as they encounter or engage with ADM technologies and systems in their everyday life and businesses?\nHow do people—Chinese\, non-Chinese\, or foreign citizens of Chinese cultural heritage —view or interpret China’s roles in ADM? And why?\nWhat do Western anxieties about digital China and its ADM systems like the social credit system tell us about the new geopolitics between China and the West/US?\nWhat roles Chinese societies can play in ensuring fair\, inclusive\, responsible\, and ethical ADM systems that benefit the people rather than the few with power\, money and knowledge?\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”PROGRAM” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]The ADM & CS conference includes a mix of keynote plenary sessions\, regular panels and workshops.

The lack of accountability makes it hard to defend against discriminatory and predatory advertising – which have a long and unfortunate history in the industry. \nOne way to provide transparency is to use automated tools to track and record automated advertising. We are seeking to develop innovative approaches and tools for holding ad targeting accountable. We want to explore recently acquired sets of targeted ads to reveal how they are targeted to particular demographic categories. \nWhat types of ads are targeted to women and to men?

Such technologies offer great opportunities for enhancing wellbeing\, but can also produce harms\, that Australia’s Robodebt well illustrated. We have long known about a “digital divide” that loosely fractures along socio-economic ones\, and these social disparities have been overlaid with the inequitable experiences of COVID on people’s wellbeing. \nIn dialogue with Associate Professor Virginia Eubanks\, this interactive symposium between leading Australian researchers\, social service organisations\, and service user advocacy and representative groups will explore the challenges and opportunities of digital technology for vulnerable and marginalised peoples. \nThis event will be held in-person at RMIT University\, Melbourne and online.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1651627344946{padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}” el_class=”yellowBox”][vc_btn title=”EVENT PROGRAM” style=”custom” custom_background=”#ffd600″ custom_text=”#000000″ size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.admscentre.org.au%2Fawh-event-program%2F|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”PROGRAM” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text] \n\n\n\n9am- 9.10am\nWelcome to Country\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9.10am- 10.30am\nKeynote address by Assoc Prof Virginia Eubanks (University at Albany)\n\n\n\nChair: Prof Paul Henman (UQ)\n\n\n\nDiscussants: Dr Daniel Featherstone (RMIT University) and Jay Coonan (Anti-Poverty Centre)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10.30am- 10.45am\nMorning tea\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10.45am- 12pm\nThematic Roundtable 1: Challenges and opportunities of digital technology for marginalised people\n\n\n\nChair: Prof Jeannie Paterson (University of Melbourne)\n\n\n\nPanellists: Ivana Jurko (Humanitech at Australian Red Cross)\, Dr Simone Casey (ACOSS)\, Dr Aitor Jimenez (University of Melbourne)\, Dr Georgia van Toorn (UNSW) and Dr Elizabeth Deveny (CHF)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12pm- 1.15pm\nThematic Roundtable 2: Designing digital technology for and with marginalised people\n\n\n\nChair: Prof Mark Sanderson (RMIT University)\n\n\n\nPanellists: Dr Ruth De Souza (RMIT University)\, Ben Shaw (Infoxchange)\, Sean Fitzgerald (C3 Solutions) and Daniel Levy (AUWU)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.15pm- 2.15pm\nLunch\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”EVENT PROGRAM” style=”custom” custom_background=”#ffd600″ custom_text=”#000000″ size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.admscentre.org.au%2Fawh-event-program%2F|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”LOCATION” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]This is a hybrid conference\, taking place in-person at the Green Brain\, RMIT University (Level 7\, Building 16\, 336/348 Swanston St\, Melbourne VIC 3000) and online via livestream.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”LIVESTREAM” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]If you have registered for this event\, you will receive an email with a link to the livestream prior to the event.

By contrast\, online ads are visible only to those to whom they are targeted\, and they are not recorded in any publicly available archive. The lack of accountability makes it hard to defend against discriminatory and predatory advertising – which have a long and unfortunate history in the industry. \nOne way to provide transparency is to use automated tools to track and record automated advertising. We are seeking to develop innovative approaches and tools for holding ad targeting accountable. We want to explore recently acquired sets of targeted ads to reveal how they are targeted to particular demographic categories. \nWhat types of ads are targeted to women and to men? How are people of different ages targeted? What about people with different ethnic backgrounds? How are populations that have been subjected to predatory advertising in the past\, including Indigenous Australians\, being targeted online?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1652423190791{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Who Are You?” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text] \n\nParticipants over 18 years\nParticipants who are with relevant skills\, expertise or experience such as fabricators\, developers\, software engineers\, designers and technologists\nParticipants who are interested in the social\, cultural\, and political role of advertising\, including sociologists\, anthropologists\, political scientists\, and others working in the humanities and social sciences.\nParticipants who are interested in ethics by design\, privacy\, and public accountability for commercial institutions.Who are the organisers?\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1652423160969{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Who Are The Organisers?” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]The Dark Ads hackathon is a project of the ARC Centre for Excellence in Automated Decision-Making and Society.
