SUMMARY:International Conference on Facial Recognition in the Modern State
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”This virtual conference will hold 24 international speakers from various regions around the world\, including six panels and three acclaimed keynote speakers. The webinar will provide a platform for socio-legal academic discussion around government use of FRT in Europe\, US\, Asia-Pacific\, Latin America and Africa.” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff”][vc_empty_space height=”8px”][vc_column_text]From border control to policing and welfare\, governments are using automated facial recognition technology (FRT) to collect taxes\, prevent crime\, police cities\, and control immigration. However\, many questions remain unanswered. Is FRT a legitimate tool to ensure public safety and security? Or is it a surveillance infrastructure\, undermining fundamental rights and the rule of law? The conference and (later) Cambridge Handbook\, written by the speakers of the conference\, will explore whether and how the answers to these questions differ among liberal democracies\, and how democracies compare to authoritarian regimes on six different continents. Building on cultural and legal differences and common trends\, the presenters will discuss possible future directions in regulating governments’ use of FRT at national\, regional\, and international levels. \nConference takes place from 9:00am – 5:30pm UTC+2 /CEST[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”VIEW PROGRAM” style=”custom” custom_background=”#ffd600″ custom_text=”#000000″ size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Ffacial-recognition-in-the-modern-state-tickets-382802481527|target:_blank”][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”Keynote Speakers” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”14481″ 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]Associate Professor Orla Lynskey\nLondon School of Economics\, UK \nOrla Lynskey is an Associate Professor\, having joined the LSE Law School in 2012 and a Visiting Professor at the College of Europe.

SUMMARY:Placing Labour\, Locating Contemporary Capitalisms Workshop
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Automated Worlds Research Program\, Institute for Culture and Society\, ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff”][vc_empty_space height=”8px”][vc_column_text]In this workshop we build on insights about the labour displacing effects of technologies of automation to ask about the new places in which labour emerges as we increasingly work in\, with\, and on automated assemblages. What analytical and political insights do we gain when we foreground the places of labour in contemporary capitalism? We draw attention to the workplaces – data centres\, warehouses\, office buildings\, and command centres – which shape such labour. But we also attend to the roles of labour in the larger economies they generate by situating it within its material contexts as well as its position in social processes of value accumulation. This dual emphasis on placing labour allows us to provide nuanced accounts of the ways that automation\, artificial intelligence\, and data analytics are redrawing capitalist landscapes of inequality in new ways. \nPlease contact Yasmin Tambiah at y.tambiah@westernsydney.edu.au to RSVP to this workshop.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”Chairs” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”514″ 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]Professor Heather Horst\nWestern Sydney University \nHeather A.

SUMMARY:Re-imagining Automated Care through Arts-based Methods Workshop
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This workshop is a parallel and complementary event to the 2022 ADM+S Symposium ‘Care and Automation’ panel. It involves inviting participants to engage with hands-on arts-based methods to think through\, problematise and contest imaginaries and practices of automated care as well as developing future-oriented ideas about possibilities for better automated care. In doing so\, they will be learning about these methods through participating\, with the potential to apply them in their own work (whether this is academic\, community sector or industry based). \nFacilitators:\nDeborah Lupton (UNSW)\nAsh Watson (UNSW)\nVaughan Wozniak-O’Connor (UNSW)\nCecily Klim (UNSW)\nMegan Rose (UNSW)[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Platforms use AI and other forms of automation to recommend music for you to listen to on Spotify\, to personalise your news feed\, and recommend things to buy on Facebook. AI and automated decision-making are also being used across society to solve problems as diverse as improving social services\, creating more efficient transport\, and providing greater access to healthcare. AI and automation are changing the way we live\, and if AI hasn’t already made a decision that affects you\, it almost certainly will\, whether that be shaping what you see on social media\, providing better disease diagnosis\, or detecting if you are driving safely. \nThis panel will bring together internationally recognised experts and industry participants to discuss the opportunities of Automated Societies and explore the question: what do we need to know? \nHost:\nJenny Kennedy (RMIT) \nPanellists:\nKate Bower (CHOICE)\nMelissa Gregg (Intel)\nPenny Harrison (Australian Red Cross)\nMalavika Jayaram (Digital Asia Hub)\nAnthony McCosker (Swinburne University of Technology)[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row title=”RESEARCH PROJECTS” style=”custom” gradient_color_1=”turquoise” gradient_color_2=”blue” gradient_custom_color_1=”#dd3333″ gradient_custom_color_2=”#eeee22″ gradient_text_color=”#ffffff” custom_background=”#ffd600″ custom_text=”#000000″ outline_custom_color=”#666666″ outline_custom_hover_background=”#666666″ outline_custom_hover_text=”#ffffff” shape=”rounded” color=”grey” size=”lg” align=”center” button_block=”” add_icon=”” i_align=”left” i_type=”fontawesome” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-adjust” i_icon_openiconic=”vc-oi vc-oi-dial” i_icon_typicons=”typcn typcn-adjust-brightness” i_icon_entypo=”entypo-icon entypo-icon-note” i_icon_linecons=”vc_li vc_li-heart” i_icon_monosocial=”vc-mono vc-mono-fivehundredpx” i_icon_material=”vc-material vc-material-cake” i_icon_pixelicons=”vc_pixel_icon vc_pixel_icon-alert” custom_onclick=”” link=”url:%23research-filter|||” custom_onclick_code=””][vc_column][vc_btn title=”WATCH RECORDING” style=”custom” custom_background=”#ffd600″ custom_text=”#000000″ size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FPfxeuoiI6IQ|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nView transcript \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

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?

SUMMARY:New Rights to Know: Data Access in the Context of Automated Decision-Making
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If a company gathers data about someone\, should that person be entitled to inspect the information\, and correct errors? If an algorithmic lender decides to raise a borrower’s interest rate based on a constant stream of data gathered from their cell phone\, should the borrower be able to review the data\, and demand some accounting for why they need to pay more? And if an automated check-out kiosk categorizes a customer as a “potential threat\,” and calls security\, should the customer be able to learn why they were classified in this way—or at least what data was used to make the determination? \nAnswers to questions like these will help determine the fairness and intelligibility of commercial life for years to come. Expansive deployments of “big data” and AI to judge consumers and workers have highlighted potential uses of a venerable\, but newly controversial\, aspect of fair information practices: a data subject’s right to access information collected about them\, including how the data was used in profiling and decision-making. This talk will explore the virtues and limits of such rights\, focusing on a case study proposing four levels of access and explanation. Rights to access are only likely to make a significant difference when robust civil society institutions help individuals understand and act on their rights to data. \nPresenters:\nProf Frank Pasquale (Brooklyn Law School)\nSusie Sheldrick (University of Melbourne) \n  \n*Please note this event will now be held online*[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Dialogues: Discovering Keywords & Building New Socio-Technical Literacies for ADM Workshop
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This two-hour workshop aims to explore the tensions\, ambiguities and ambivalences surrounding the language of automation and AI. The language surrounding new technologies matters. Artificial intelligence (AI)\, algorithm\, big data and automated decision making (ADM) are buzzwords that carry substantial weight public and policy conversation. However\, they are also unfixed\, intermingled and unclear and even contested among different research communities. The picture becomes even messier and potentially more exclusionary when we add value laden concepts like bias\, fairness\, harms\, justice\, trust and trustworthiness\, transparency\, engagement\, responsible\, learning\, expertise\, inclusion\, vision\, work\, learning\, care (etc) in relation to the things that data\, algorithms\, AI and ADM systems do in the world – and how they do it. \nIn the tradition of Raymond Williams’ Keywords project this workshop aims to explore the tensions\, ambiguities and ambivalences surrounding the language of automation and AI. This will involve parking our disciplinary lenses and thinking about the way these new technologies reverberate. The goal is to take this into new modes of public engagement\, translation and outreach\, and to inform our research design.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Emerging Health Technologies in Australia: Developments in automation\, AI and more
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Emerging technologies such as automated decision-making (ADM) and artificial intelligence (AI) are being increasingly applied within healthcare contexts. However\, media coverage tends to focus on overseas examples. What is happening here in Australia? What technologies actually exist\, and what does AI look like in practice? What are the opportunities and impacts for health consumers? In this webinar\, researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society\, Dr Ash Watson and Vaughan Wozniak-O’Connor\, will answer these questions and share findings from their research. They will be joined by discussant Steve Woodyatt\, CEO at Datarwe\, who will respond and share their own experiences in this developing space. \nThis event is presented by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society in partnership with Consumers Health Forum of Australia (CHF) and Datarwe.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”Speakers” font_container=”tag:h6|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”2562″ 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 Ash Watson – Research Fellow\, ADM+S\nAsh is a sociologist who researches the current and anticipated impacts of emerging technologies in contexts of health and wellbeing.

SUMMARY:Automating Wikimedia: Open Knowledge\, Linked Data and Search
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The power of search engines has become further entrenched in the wake of the current move to restructure the Web according to the logics of ‘linked data’ and the ‘semantic Web’. With the goal of sharing information according to structured formats that computers (rather than humans) can easily process and analyse\, linked data engineers are developing algorithms that abstract information from fact sharing websites like Wikipedia into short\, uniform statements that can be more efficiently shared\, compared and analysed. Yet it is often unclear when viewing structured information on search results where the information is coming from – some is from Wikimedia but not all – and whether it is credible. At the same time the Wikimedia Foundation has launched Wikimedia Enterprise a new cross-departmental service of the Wikimedia Foundation available via enterprise.wikimedia.com which aims to provide commercial services for ‘organizations that want to repurpose Wikimedia content in other contexts\, providing data services at a large scale’.

SUMMARY:Visions of the Road Ahead: Experimenting with Future Visions of Self-Driving Cars
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Vision is central to the future of autonomous vehicles (AVs). To accurately see and sense the road and its environment is arguably the principal challenge for engineers\, designers\, and computer scientists tasked with bringing the dream of self-driving cars and other AVs to life. For companies like Google and Tesla\, crafting corporate and promotional visions is key to the acceptance and adoption of new and emerging technologies. But who gets to envision our futures? And how can we have our say in who gets to come along for the ride? Join the Emerging Technologies Research Lab in this hands-on creative workshop where participants will have the chance to engage and experiment with different visions of the future for AVs in Australia. \nFrom the corporate visions put forward by Big Tech\, to the speculative visions imagined in sci-fi and popular culture\, participants will have the opportunity to interrogate and dissect the social\, cultural\, and political aspects of these proposed futures.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Participants will be presented with magazines\, posters\, and other visual materials\, and then invited to cut apart and piece together using collage methods your own visions for automated mobilities in Australia. \nThis event is part of a research project titled ‘Future Automated Mobilities’ (Monash University Ethics Project ID: 29478)\, supported by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making & Society. The Future Automated Mobilities project falls under the Transport & Mobilities focus area and is led by researchers in the People programme within the Centre.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:HealthTech: Today and Tomorrow
DESCRIPTION:Who gets to design new healthtech products? Who are these designed for? How can we do design differently and more inclusively? This hands-on creative workshop will explore how emerging technologies such as automated decision-making (ADM) and artificial intelligence (AI) tools are being designed\, understood\, and imagined within contexts of health and wellbeing\, and what better and more inclusive futures can be developed. \nADM and AI technologies are predicted to have a profound impact on health practices and medical care globally\, with applications ranging from diagnostic and therapeutic to lifestyle and social wellbeing. Popular narratives position these technologies in often wildly variable ways: e.g.\, as replacing human doctors or as evil robots. Such portrayals partly result from the fact that ADM and AI technologies are poorly understood: there are no widely agreed upon definitions or explanations of these technologies. \nWe invite participants to join us in reimagining healthtech and its futures through cultural probes. Together participants will experiment with sociological design methods that offer an alternative way of understanding and materialising the social and material contexts of health technology design and use\, both in the present and into the future. Presented by Dr Ash Watson\, Dr Vaughan Wozniak-O’Connor and Prof Deborah Lupton\, from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society’s UNSW Node.

SUMMARY:Digital media for the prevention & mitigation of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)
DESCRIPTION:Digital media are increasingly important in healthcare and\, since the COVID-19 pandemic\, have gained additional impetus. Digital health can serve consumers and practitioners with information and advice and be harnessed for communications and education. Consumers can shape digital media and establish sites for support\, action and the generation of new insights into healthcare. Online consults and scripts are also increasingly common\, with direct implications for antimicrobial use in community settings. In addition\, digital media have been used to promote awareness of AMR and to assess the impact of public communications. In this roundtable\, leading experts examine digital health in the post-COVID-19 context and the related opportunities for strengthening action on AMR. \nThis event is presented by the Social Science Network in AMR in partnership with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society. \nSpeakers: \nDeborah Lupton is SHARP Professor in the Faculty of Arts\, Design & Architecture\, University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney\, Australia. Her research is interdisciplinary\, spanning sociology\, communication and cultural studies. She is located in the Centre for Social Research in Health and the Social Policy Research Centre\, leading both the Vitalities Lab and the UNSW Node of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society. She is an elected Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia and holds an Honorary Doctor of Social Science degree awarded by the University of Copenhagen. \nKath Albury is Professor of Media and Communication at Swinburne University of Technology\, and an ARC Future Fellow (2022-2026). She is an Associate Investigator in the Swinburne Node of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society (ADMS)\, and co-leads the Digital Inclusion Program in Swinburne’s Social Innovation Research Institute (SIRI). \n

SUMMARY:Sex Tech Hackathon 2022
DESCRIPTION:The Sex Tech Hackathon 2022 will bring communities\, industry and researchers together for a three-day workshop that will re-imagine the future of public interest sex technologies. \nThe term ‘sextech’ has been applied to dating apps\, health and wellbeing trackers\, sexual entertainment platforms and services\, and networked sex toys. But regulators\, activists and researchers internationally have raised concerns about the ways these devices are designed and how they handle their users’ data. \nDesigners\, technologists and sex educators will collaborate to invent new sex technologies that respond to the needs of marginalised communities\, have collective benefit\, and take an ethical approach to collecting\, storing and sharing intimate data. \nParticipants will create open-source designs and pitches that will contribute to new research into the ways that ‘big data’ can be used for sexual and reproductive health\, wellbeing\, rights and justice. Participants from Australia and abroad will compete for industry prizes\, including:\n• a speaker spot and expo space at SxTechEU in Berlin\n• a scholarship to attend SexTech School\, and\n• vouchers for sexual happiness business Lovehoney. \nThe event is led by researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society\, in partnership with global technology consultancy Thoughtworks and private training academy SexTech School. \nParticipants will work with industry mentors and will hear from experts including Samantha Floreani from Digital Rights Watch and Eliza Sorensen from Assembly Four\, a collective of sex workers and technologists. \nA panel of community activists will inspire participants to envision inclusive\, accessible and accountable sex tech. Speakers include:\n• Kathryn Gledhill-Tucker\, Nyungar technologist and digital rights activist\,\n• Jax Jacki Brown\, disability and sexuality educator\,\n• Nic Holas\, grass roots HIV activist\,\n• Sage Akouri\, from LGBTQIA+ non-profit Speak\, and\n• Dylan O’Hara\, sex worker organiser from Vixen Collective. \nSexTech Hackathons have been previously held in Europe\, London\, Singapore\, New York and Melbourne\, but this is the first to explicitly focus on public interest technology. \nParticipants will be guided through speculative design exercises using the Transfeminist Tech Oracle Cards\, a tool to help collectively envision future technologies. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Automated Decision-Making in Disability Services and Accessibility: Mapping What Is Happening and What We Know
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Join us for a roundtable discussion with academics\, practitioners\, and policy makers designed to map what we know about the use and effects of automated decision-making in disability services around the world in general- and in Australia in particular.” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff”][vc_empty_space height=”8px”][vc_column_text]Digital technologies are increasingly being used in disability services and the disability sector to automate parts of decision-making processes. The disability sector’s relationship with digital technologies is complex\, with some technological innovations improving accessibility for people with disability while others create new barriers of exclusion. Although the sector has increasingly adopted a human rights approach working ‘with’ people with a disability rather than ‘on’ them\, people with disability are still often excluded from decisions about their own care and wellbeing. Increasing automation in decision making in disability service provision promises timely\, tailored and accurate decision making\, but risks further excluding people with a disability from decisions that are made about their care and day-to-day life. \n\nWhere is ADM being (or touted to be) used in disability services and accessibility?\nIn what way is ADM being used in disability services?\nHow do professionals and administrators engage with such ADM?\nHow do people with disability understand and experience processes that involve the use of ADM?\nWhat data and research knowledge are used to develop ADM?\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”WATCH RECORDING” style=”custom” custom_background=”#ffd600″ custom_text=”#000000″ size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FE8SpmTcuXiI|target:_blank”][vc_column_text] \nRead transcript \n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”Speakers” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”1679″ 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 Lyndal Sleep \nDr Lyndal Sleep’s research focuses on social security decision making\, technology and women with the aim of enhancing safety\, wellbeing and life chances for women in situations of intersectional disadvantage.
