SUMMARY:Decoding AI: Media Studio Expo
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Experience short video essays that explore the impact of automated decision-making on the everyday.” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The word ‘automation’ conjures up images of giant machines or production lines\, but automated decision-making (ADM) now informs a large part of our everyday lives. ADM plays a role in many aspects of society\, including but not limited to health\, transport\, social services and news and media. \nIn this partnered studio with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society\, third year media students from RMIT University explored the impact of ADM on the everyday. \nDrawing on presentations from researchers at ADM+S\, students considered questions such as ‘What are the productive uses of automated decision-making?’\, and ‘What are some of the ethical implications of automated decision-making in health care or news media?’ \nPhoto by Jazmin Quaynor on Unsplash[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Mapping the Digital Gap 2023 Outcomes Report Launch
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”The ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society (ADM+S) and Telstra invite you to attend the online launch of the first Mapping the Digital Gap Outcomes Report.” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff”][vc_column_text]Improving digital inclusion outcomes and access to services in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities is critically important for informed decision making and agency. Digital exclusion impacts on service delivery\, health outcomes\, access to news and information\, and participation in social and cultural activities. \nTarget 17 of the National Agreement on Closing the Gap states that ‘By 2026\, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have equal levels of digital inclusion’. \nDrawing on data from the ADM+S Centre and Telstra ‘Mapping the Digital Gap’ project\, the 2023 Australian Digital Inclusion Index was able to provide a score for First Nations digital inclusion according to remoteness categories for the first time. It found a considerable digital gap – 7.5 points on a 100 point scale – between First Nations people and other Australians. This gap increases significantly with remoteness\, with an overall gap of 24.4 for remote First Nations communities and 25.4 for very remote communities when compared against national results. \nThe 2023 Mapping the Digital Gap Outcomes Report presents first year findings from ten diverse remote First Nations communities across Australia. It demonstrates significant barriers to communications infrastructure\, affordable devices and services\, and digital ability. It is the first in a series of annual reports providing timely data and community-led strategies to guide policy and program initiatives to help close the digital gap. \nJoin our online event for an overview of the data\, context\, and key findings from the report\, discussion of the state of service provision and news and media access across research sites\, case studies of on-the-ground experiences of residents and service providers\, and an interactive Q&A session with leading industry and academic experts.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1693984120881{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1686029087819{margin-right: 30px !important;margin-left: 30px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_text]Schedule \n\n6:00pm\nPublic debate\n7:00pm\nLight refreshments\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1691538086520{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Partners” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1691538093222{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_row_inner gap=”20″][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”6058″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_circle_2″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Telstra\ntelstra.com.au[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1691538086520{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Speakers” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1691538093222{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_row_inner gap=”20″][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”20073″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_circle_2″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Dr Dot West\nChair\nFirst Nations Digital Inclusion Advisory Group \nVisit page[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_row_inner gap=”20″][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”7712″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_circle_2″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Lauren Ganley\nFirst Nations Strategy & Engagement\nMapping the Digital Gap Partner Investigator\nTelstra \nVisit page[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1691538093222{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_row_inner gap=”20″][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”491″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_circle_2″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Prof Julian Thomas\nCentre Director\nMapping the Digital Gap Co-Investigator\nRMIT University\, ADM+S \nVisit page[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_row_inner gap=”20″][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”13270″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_circle_2″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Dr Daniel Featherstone\nSenior Research Fellow\nMapping the Digital Gap Lead Investigator\nRMIT University\, ADM+S \nVisit page[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1691538093222{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_row_inner gap=”20″][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”5535″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_circle_2″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Dr Lyndon Ormond-Parker\nResearch Fellow\nMapping the Digital Gap Co-Investigator\nRMIT University\, ADM+S \nVisit page[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Artificial companions: Fantasies\, imaginaries and play
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”This half-day event considers the ways artificial companions are deeply embedded in our cultural imaginaries and practical realities\, and how the way we create\, design and foster companionships through and with the machine is an innately human process.” 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] \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobots\, bots and artificial intelligence form an active part of our collective and personal self\, often representing a form of automated play and companionship. In this symposium we explore the role of design\, sociality\, culture and belonging in the creation of AI companions. We move beyond the lens of language and harms to consider the relational aspects of AI and how meaning-making and connections are formed within communities. AI companions can be a reflection of the past\, the present or a form of future fantasy\, and together we invite you to consider their diverse potential in our more than human landscape. \nIn this event we consider: \n\nWhat role does imagination and play have in facilitating connections between AI and human?\nHow does cultural and media literacies inform the design and relationships formed with AI?\nWhat fantasies of the future does AI companionship represent?\nWhat are the experiences and social lives of AI from a more than human perspective?\nHow can we centre accounts of technologies developed in different countries that is respectful and doesn’t play into orientalist discourses?\nHow does intersectionality inform the relationships formed with the more than human?\nHow can vulnerable populations and their specific needs be centered in the development and evaluation of this technology?\nWhat cultural attitudes towards gender and the animal are reflected in AI companions?\n\nAny questions around this event can be directed to ADM+S via adms@rmit.edu.au \n\n\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_btn title=”VIEW PROGRAM” style=”custom” custom_background=”#ffd600″ custom_text=”#000000″ size=”lg” align=”left” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fcloudstor.aarnet.edu.au%2Fplus%2Fs%2F4JI6qNg8y1RHA6x|target:_blank”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”KEYNOTE” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”19863″ 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 Keiko Nishimura\, Sophia University\nAnimating a Robot: Interaction\, Play\, and Popular Cultural Context[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”PRESENTATIONS” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”19864″ 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]Assoc Prof Patrick W Galbraith\, Senshū University\nEarly Japanese Experiments in Living with Characters: Encountering Limits to Gendered Imagination and Empowering Diversity[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”19865″ 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 Elena Knox\, Waseda University\nCommuning with the Parahuman: Gender\, Presence and Persona in Techno-Science[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”9780″ 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 Megan Catherine Rose\, UNSW Sydney\nFuture/Pets: Creepy-Cute Hybridities in the More-than-Human[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”PANEL\nPlay: the Human\, Digital and the Automated” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”13738″ 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]Dominique Carlon\, Queensland University of Technology\n \n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”19866″ 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]Clara Julia Reich\, Oslo Metropolitan University \n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”19868″ 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]Dejan Tatić\, Vienna University of Economics and Business \n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1687915639246{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?

SUMMARY:Electronics < > Ecologies #1 — REPAIR
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”REPAIR is the first workshop in a series created by Dr Melissa Gregg. The Electronics <> Ecologies series aims to map the environmental costs of AI.” 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] \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIs electronics repair a right? And if so\, who needs it? \nConsumers’\, advocates’\, and resellers’ demands for a “Right to Repair” seems to be gaining broader acceptance. Policymakers around the world have responded to campaigns from groups including iFixit and The Repair Association with repairability ratings and guides\, effectively discouraging manufacturers from continuing restrictive features such as proprietary fasteners and soldered-in components. A new wave of startups including Fairphone and Framework have found a significant and growing market for durable consumer electronics\, and have provoked a range of responses from established players who are now promoting repairable product concepts\, “circular” design principles and a growing marketplace for parts\, tools and manuals. \nBut even if a robust right to repair was enshrined by governments everywhere\, would this stem the flood of e-waste generated by the existing business model for computer hardware? AI is just the latest in a long line of software hype cycles that have accelerated hardware obsolescence\, created increased demand for specialized systems and components\, and disincentivized repair and reuse. Are companies moving fast enough to arrest the amount of physical hardware exhausted and abandoned in the move to a data-centric economy? \nGiven our dwindling supply of rare earth minerals\, emissions from manufacturing and transport\, and the staggering amount of electronics either discarded or sent to hibernation globally every day\, the benefits of keeping electronic devices in circulation for as long as possible seem obvious. But proprietary software\, especially when deployed by vertically-integrated firms\, erects barriers to the many business opportunities\, digital inclusion benefits and sustainable livelihoods that a healthy repair ecosystem creates. \nREPAIR will bring together experts\, industry practitioners\, activists and emerging researchers to discuss the ecological impact of current technology consumption\, and the planetary problem of electronics repair. This event gets to the heart of the repair debate\, asking: Can repairable electronics really solve the problem of product obsolescence? And what does electronics repair look like at scale? \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”EVENT PROGRAM” style=”custom” custom_background=”#ffd600″ custom_text=”#000000″ size=”lg” align=”left” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.admscentre.org.au%2Felectronics-ecologies-1-repair-program%2F|title:ELECTRONICS%20%3C%20%3E%20ECOLOGIES%20%231%20%E2%80%94%20REPAIR%20Program”][vc_btn title=”WATCH RECORDINGS” style=”custom” custom_background=”#ffd600″ custom_text=”#000000″ size=”lg” align=”left” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fplaylist%3Flist%3DPLE_y90GftjpbQr8TyY-md0znvPrsrfHd8|title:ELECTRONICS%20%3C%20%3E%20ECOLOGIES%20%231%20%E2%80%94%20REPAIR%20Program”][/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 event will be held in-person at The Ship Inn\, South Bank Campus\, Griffith University.[/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=”CALL FOR PAPERS” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Researchers interested in being considered for a select number of presentation slots are invited to submit a 2-page position paper by 4 August 2023.

A number of activities are embedded in the session to ensure engagement and invoke discussion amongst participants. \nTo help participants craft their own impact narratives\, the session will: \n\nExplain the need to communicate your research to a wide audience and why storytelling is much more than reporting the results of research\nProvide an overview of basic impact concepts and principles\nEmphasise the importance of understanding outcomes\, beneficial change and impact pathways\nDiscuss the difference between past\, emerging and potential impact\n\nIn addition\, participants will get the chance to ask Prof Swee Mak questions in relation to impact and learn more on how RMIT is embedding impact into its’ research culture. \n  \n“This would have to be the most informative and useful session I have ever attended on research impact. Not only was the information clearly presented\, the guidance that was provided made writing an impact narrative a very simple and easy process. This is the type of session that should be made available to all universities in Australia to help researchers better understand the importance of research impact and the different ways of achieving it.” – Chris D. \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=”ABOUT THE SPEAKER” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”18887″ 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]Prof Swee Mak\nAs Associate Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research and Innovation Capability) and Professor of Innovation at RMIT\, Prof Swee Mak provides strategic leadership to RMIT’s Enabling Impact Platforms (EIP) and a broad range of impact focused enablement programs\, capabilities and initiatives.

But with the emergence of Generative AI systems like ChatGPT and Midjourney\, suddenly it’s here and shockingly good. With the potential to reshape economies\, societies and our lives\, these remarkable technologies demand our attention and raise important questions about the role AI should have in society. \nFeaturing experts in the field\, this debate will shed light on the serious hazards and enormous potential of Generative AI. The affirmative side will argue that we must stop progress in this technology and focus on minimising its harms and render it safe. The negative will emphasise the importance of integrating this Promethean Gift into every corner of our lives. \nRegister now to secure your spot and engage in a thought-provoking debate on the future of Generative AI. \nThis is the evening component of The Web Search Revolution Symposium.

SUMMARY:Public lecture by Dr Sun-ha Hong: Predictions Without Futures
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Join this public lecture on 14 August\, featuring guest speaker Dr Sun-ha Hong\, Assistant Professor in Communication at Simon Fraser University.” 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]Predictions without Futures explores how our dominant technological futures help maintain decrepit horizons of the social. As Brecht once observed: “I stood on a hill and I saw the Old approaching\, but it came as the New.” Prediction supplies a powerful conceptual model for this dynamic of stasis through disruption by connecting technical and mythological attitudes of probabilistic control. I trace some throughlines between the technical conceit of predictivity (that criminality or emotion can be anticipated through data-driven modeling) and the mythological use of prediction (where history is an extrapolation of known technological advancements). Drawing from theories of ritual and experiment\, I examine the demonstrative\, belief-building work that prediction does – from 18th century automata to Amazon warehouses\, from Marvin Minsky to the Year 10\,000. What we call “tech” today serves as a legitimising function for capital\, and crucial to this function is the active foreclosure of any political future other than more of the same. \nSchedule\n• 5:30pm – Reception\n• 6:00pm – Lecture \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=”ABOUT THE SPEAKER” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”19720″ 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 Sun-ha Hong\nSun-ha Hong examines forms of uncertainty\, doubt and belief around surveillance\, smart machines & AI.

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_1687915647056{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?

Digital platforms use automated systems to shape how we find and access information and entertainment\, as well as to filter\, fact-check and moderate content\, and to serve advertising to their users. Newsrooms are producing stories without human intervention and using bots to collect newsworthy data.  \nAs these sectors start to seriously grapple with AI\, the dominance of major platforms and media organisations  looks far less certain\, thanks to a series of economic shocks and a renewed interest in alternative social media technologies. \nThis is a moment of possibility\, and one that invites reflection and action.  \nThe 2023 ADM+S Symposium brings together researchers\, industry\, advocacy groups and policymakers to showcase the findings of our work together to date\, and to address the most pressing emerging challenges associated with automated systems in the digital media\, information\, and entertainment environment.  \nThe Symposium will be hosted both online and in-person at the University of Sydney Law School.  \nThe two-day symposium will include: \n\nKeynotes\, panel discussions and fireside conversations with leading international and national researchers\, and stakeholders.\nDissemination of new findings from the ADM+S Centre’s key research projects\nOpportunities to connect with others through interactive workshops\, social activities and satellite events.\n\n  \nImage credit: Jean Burgess and DALL-E 2[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Join this event to share and discuss work in progress or new ideas and develop relationships across and beyond ADM+S and Wikimedia research interests.” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As a digital platform\, Wikimedia projects play a powerful role in the information and media ecosystem\, from providing breaking news coverage to data points in Google infoboxes. Wikimedia projects include various types of automation and contribute to the automation of information provided by other platforms and are also being impacted by the regulations attempting to control big tech. There are therefore many areas of overlap with ADM+S areas of interest which could provide a range of fascinating research projects or collaborations which this workshop hopes to foster.  \nJoin us for a lunchtime seminar/workshop on researching Wikimedia as a Digital Platform. The session will include lightning talks of 5-10 minutes on current or future research projects\, questions\, ideas or issues followed by open discussion and input from colleagues and for developing new proposals or collaborations. Speakers may share a paper or concept at various stages of gestation.  \nLunch will be provided.\nThis event is being hosted as a 2023 ADM+S Symposium Satellite event.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]If you would like to provide a 5 minute lightning talk please email amanda.lawrence@rmit.edu.au with your name\, organisation and a title.

SUMMARY:Towards a Positive Internet
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”This interactive workshop aims to identify the necessary building blocks of a more positive internet including platform policy\, conditions for meaningful community formation and personal wellbeing.” 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]Creating positive internet futures for everyone\, including children and young people\, requires attention to the already successful elements of the internet and social media. By identifying the spaces where the internet supports human flourishing we can create a more positive internet and social media spaces. This workshop aims to identify the necessary building blocks of a more positive internet including platform policy\, conditions for meaningful community formation and personal wellbeing. This will be achieved by bringing together experts from across Australia to direct future research attention to internet spaces where people experience joy\, fun and connection as understanding these spaces can help build a better internet for everyone. \nThis interactive workshop seeks to generate creative responses to the perceived internet ‘crisis’. The internet\, and specifically social media\, is often positioned as a threat to democracy and a disruption to a functioning society\, to which the only solution is to ‘turn it off’. Critiques of the internet are important work\, however\, in this workshop we seek to move away from ‘big critique’ (Burgess\, 2022) and focus on the conditions that could produce a more positive version on the internet. Drawing from the work of Halberstam (2011) this workshop seeks to uncover alternative internet futures that “dwell in the murky waters of a counterintuitive\, often impossibly dark and negative realm of critique and refusal” (2011\, p. 2). \nThis workshop focuses on what Halberstam might consider the “rewards of failure” (p. 3) by focusing on where the internet has functioned and produced positive and pro-social outcomes amongst its many shortcomings. Through hands-on and engaging activities\, the focus of this workshop is to combine the expertise of our participants and collectively generate new research-informed insights that help us move towards a positive internet. The workshop aims to bring together a diverse range of academics\, from HDR students to senior researchers\, to collaboratively tackle this question and consider how we can build a better internet by rescuing the failures of this present. [/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=”Themes” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]This workshop focuses on the following key themes: \n\nDesigning internet spaces\nThe technological affordances that support human flourishing online.\nExisting success\nIdentifying ‘successful’ internet space and critically examining how and why they work.\nLooking back to look forward\nWhat lessons can we apply from the internet past to create a positive internet in the future?\nSpeculative internet futures\nUsing their expertise\, attendees will design what their ‘ideal’ future internet would look like.\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=”Objectives” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]The objectives of this workshop are to: \n\nBring together scholars who are working broadly in the area of a ‘positive internet’\nCreate a collective\, public-facing manifesto for ‘building a positive internet’\nCreate a community of practice across social science disciplines that are working on identifying and designing for human flourishing online\nGenerate open-access academic outputs that speak to the theme of a positive internet\nContribute to imagining better internet futures\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=”Participate” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Expressions of Interest for this event have now closed.[/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=”Sponsors” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]This event is co-sponsored by the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Digital Child and the ARC of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society (ADM+S).[/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=”Questions” 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 any questions\, please contact towardsapositiveinternet@gmail.com[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

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.

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.

This event will investigate why such responsibilities must include more than just enumerating and responding to pathologies such as misinformation\, radicalisation\, and abuse\, and considers a new positive ideal to aim at. \nPolitical philosophy should offer such an ideal\, but it tells us only when not to interfere in free speech\, not how to shape public communication and distribute attention. During this event\, Prof Lazar will spotlight a new theory of communicative justice: an account of the communicative interests that those who govern the digital public sphere should promote\, and the democratic egalitarian norms by which their doing so should be constrained.  \nThis event will question how a new ideal might guide us in shaping public communication and distributing attention\, in balancing the governing responsibilities of private and public actors\, and in striving for procedural legitimacy in governance of the digital public sphere. \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1665618526507{margin-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Speaker” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1662609614303{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”18214″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_circle_2″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Seth Lazar \nSeth Lazar is Professor of Philosophy at the Australian National University\, an Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellow\, and a Distinguished Research Fellow of the University of Oxford Institute for Ethics in AI.

SUMMARY:Angieszka Leszczynski on “Urban platform materialities: aesthetics\, glitches\, amenities”
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Angieszka Leszczynski on “Urban platform materialities: aesthetics\, glitches\, amenities”” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1665618578153{background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1679628235712{padding-bottom: -35px !important;}”] \n\nThis talk attends to how urban platforms materially ‘show up’ in cities\, and where they materialize. Drawing on a range of empirical instances from North American cities\, the talk situates and traces urban platform materialities in three registers: aesthetics\, spatiality\, and amenitization. Docked bikesharing infrastructure in Vancouver comprises a serialized aesthetics increasingly co-implicated with what gentrification ‘looks like’ at the microgeographic\, or sub-neighbourhood\, spatialities of the city. An e-bike sited above a tent encampment in San Jose and the ‘emoji house’ in Manhattan Beach\, CA appear as aesthetic ‘glitches’ in our conditioned desires for orderly cityscapes and Instagrammable architectures. And finally\, informed by the results of a spatial analysis of the locations of platform-based presences in Canadian cities\, the talk position platforms as a novel urban amenity class\, establishing how and why this matters for our understandings of ‘splintering’ urban development. Read across these registers\, platform materialities emerge as vectors of significant urban transformations. \nPlease note: For reasons of privacy and security\, this event will be in-person only.

While originally designed to bring values such as fairness\, accountability and transparency to Big Tech and its products\, the lines between Big Tech’s PR initiatives and AI ethics funding has never been clear. In practice\, AI ethics now operates as a means for the co-option of critics and to enable regulatory capture. It is used by corporations to create legitimacy and to further accumulate value. The result is that ‘ethics’ has now become a high-valued industrial commodity\, and AI ethics its foundry. \nThis anthology is a collective response to the reification of ethics into commodity forms. It explores how industry participation in ‘ethical AI’ research has created a new ‘economy of virtue’—a massive network of actors variously situated across industry\, civil society\, and universities\, producing and circulating ethics as a service and a product. The contributors present both critical perspectives and first-hand experiences of this economy. They address a wide range of topics including: the contradictions and personal dilemmas of working in industry-funded spaces; case studies of AI ethics in domains such as defence\, facial recognition\, and standards setting; critical assessments of techniques like green-washing and the manufacture of trust; and the risks and practicalities of direct action such as speaking up\, organizing against and dropping out. Together\, these contributions give voice to the intractable problems of co-option\, capture\, and complicity that plague AI ethics\, and give shape to the networks and circulations defining the field.[/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=”Authors” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Corinne Cath and Os Keyes; Sarah Pink; Rodrigo Ochigame; Sy Taffel\, Laura Bedford\, and Monique Mann; Angela Daly; Tsvetelina Hristova and Liam Magee; Michael Richardson; Jake Goldenfein\, Lilly Irani\, J.

An innovative line of flight within LaRochelle’s broader engagements with LGBTQ2IA+ life\, this queer use of machine learning is a rich illustration of the creative and affective possibilities of artificial intelligence technologies. Experience the first video output of the project\, titled Sitting here with you in the future. \nQT.bot is a creative adaptation of the Open AI GPT-2 text generation model and a StyleGAN (implemented by machine learning engineer Mattie Tesfaldet). The text model is trained on trained on more than 82\,000 posts from the queer community archive and mapping platform Queering the Map (queeringthemap.com)\, and the image model on scraped Google Street View imagery taken from the tagged coordinates of Queering the Map posts. Queering the Map is a community-generated counter-mapping platform on/with which visitors archive queer experience in relation to physical space. \nArtificial Artificial Intelligence is a series of in-conversation talks about technology and fiction hosted by Dr Ash Watson of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society (ADM+S). Probing the porous boundaries between machine realities and imagination\, the series features leading scholars from the humanities and social sciences who are changing what – and how – we know about emerging technologies. \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”VIEW RECORDING” style=”custom” custom_background=”#ffd600″ custom_text=”#000000″ size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FmJJbQ2i86Es”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1665618526507{margin-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][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_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1662609614303{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”17398″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_circle_2″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Lucas LaRochelle\nDesigner \nLucas is a Canadian designer and researcher whose work investigates queer and transgender digital cultures\, community-based archiving\, and co-creative media.
