The ADM+S 2022 Symposium will connect our work on responsible, ethical and inclusive automated services with national and international research, policy and practice agendas, and showcase outcomes and works in progress across the Centre.
Sit back and relax as we premiere a series of short films and officially launch our Transport & Mobility Scoping Study Report.
This experimental program will feature artists, musicians, writers and researchers thinking with and against the logic of digital automation, algorithmic culture, and AI in order to trouble and subvert systems that extract, aggregate, model, and predict.
Join us for a cocktail function followed by a panel discussion featuring internationally recognised experts and industry participants. The panel will discuss the opportunities of Automated Societies and explore the question: what do we need to know?
Engage with hands-on arts-based methods to think through, problematise and contest imaginaries and practices of automated care as well as develop future-oriented ideas about possibilities for better automated care.
Join Prof Kimberlee Weatherall, Prof Frank Pasquale and other experts as they unpack the challenges and advantages of AI and how it is changing medical practice.
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.
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. Building on cultural and legal differences and common trends, this conference will discuss possible future directions in regulating governments’ use of FRT at national, regional, and international levels.
Automation is widely recognised as one of the most central and powerful organising systems of everyday life, yet key questions about its historical, cultural and epistemological specificity remain unanswered. The symposium brings together researchers and representatives from key centres and projects focused on the study of automation.
The Dark Ads Hackathon will build capacity in the area of online advertising accountability by sharing tools and fostering a network of researchers working in this area.
Join an evening of discussion on the issues raised by the use of targeted advertising online.
This workshop invites us to investigate the ways that human and other animal relationships are forged through processes of digitisation and datafication. From the care of the companion animal in the smart home to ‘smart’ farming, the tracking and trapping of endangered and ‘pest’ wildlife, memes, GIFs and videos, zoomorphic care robots and the conflict between delivery drones and ravens for airspace, emerging technologies such as biodigital sensors, AI and automated decision-making are increasingly configuring the intertwined lives and bodies of humans and other animals.
