Call for participants and speakers for AI Commons workshop - Dec. 6
by Fenwick Mckelvey 22 Aug '19

22 Aug '19

Please circulate widely. On 6 December 2019, we are hosting a workshop on an AI Commons at the Milieux Institute at Concordia University. We invite people from diverse professions and communities to contribute as either a workshop participant or a speaker. The workshop seeks to develop a vision for a commons-based approach to the future of AI. It is an intervention to develop democratic approaches to digital disruption and understand transformations in citizen engagement. The workshop will produce a public report on the possibility of an AI as well as a series of video interviews capturing the discussion. Please see details below or visit to read more and apply: https://machineagencies.org/events/aicommons-cfp/ AI Commons Workshop *Imagining an AI Commons: A One-Day Workshop on AI and the Commons* 6 December 2019 Montreal, Quebec *Hosted at Machine Agencies, Milieux Institute, Concordia University* (Please find the submission form <https://machineagencies.org/events/aicommons-cfp/#gotoform> below) How can artificial intelligence be oriented toward the common good? The belief in AI for good has widespread acceptance in the industry and among governments. Declarations from around the globe—Canada, China, South Korea, France, and more <https://medium.com/politics-ai/an-overview-of-national-ai-strategies-2a70ec…>—call for the development of AI to have a social purpose. But what is that purpose? The workshop seeks to develop a vision for a commons-based approach to the future of AI. It is an intervention to develop democratic approaches to digital disruption and understand transformations in citizen engagement. The workshop will produce a public report on the possibility of an AI as well as a series of video interviews capturing the discussion. Without clear direction, AI risks becoming privatized and at odds with a common world. In a recent study, researchers calculated the costs of training a deep neural network model for use in natural language processing. Their findings are alarming. The energy required can result in CO2 emissions equal to the lifetime emissions of five cars. Meanwhile, the financial cost of the computing needed to carry out this research has become so high that academic researchers cannot participate, enclosing AI innovation within the profit-oriented technology industry. A commons approach to AI seeks to mitigate these harms, just as commons approaches in other areas have intervened in environmental devastation and the privatization and commodification of knowledge. The term “commons” was initially rooted in theories about the conditions and consequences of sharing resources. But theorists and activists have worked to broaden it, naming new commons in order to advocate for their protection while developing praxis to govern them. This shift in understanding has been greatly informed by indigenous scholarship and indigenous people’s histories, epistemologies, and practices, which offer a wealth of approaches to the management and preservation of common resources, material and otherwise. In this workshop, we invite you to reflect broadly on artificial intelligence and its relation to the commons as you consider the following questions: 1. What should an AI Commons be? 1. How could a commons-based approach guide the development of AI? 2. How does a commons approach differ from proposed ethical or rights-based frameworks? 2. How could the development of AI today—including the infrastructure and knowledge at its foundation—become a commons? 1. What forms of collective action and governance would be necessary? What movements and efforts already exist? 2. What latent commons or undercommons might we find in thinking about AI? 3. Could AI reshape how we think about the commons, leading to new theories or practices? 1. How might related (or unrelated) approaches to the commons be understood through AI and the commons (e.g., making kin, new materialism, infrastructures of care, or platform cooperativism)? 2. What histories and instances of the commons does an AI commons require for context and inspiration? 4. How might we imagine a future common world for the machines, environments, humans, and other life drawn together by the industrial efforts around AI? 1. How can humans, AI, and other agents collaborate equitably in these commons? 2. How might AI reproduce sustainably within the natural commons, unseating extractive and settler approaches to common worlds? We invite people from diverse professions and communities to contribute as either a workshop participant or a speaker. Participants are expected to prepare a short 500-word position statement on one of these questions to be shared before the workshop then workshopped in groups to draft a shared response to these questions to be integrated into a public position paper. Speakers are expected to prepare a short 15-minute presentation, participate in a roundtable and animate around 1-2 of these questions. The workshop is invite only. Some travel funds will be available for speakers. Please apply at: https://machineagencies.org/events/aicommons-cfp/ *This workshop is supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Center for the Study of Democratic Citizenship and the Milieux Institute for Arts + Technology at Concordia University.*

CfP - Panel on Producing, Sharing and Transforming Knowledge on Social Media
by Neil Sadler 22 Aug '19

22 Aug '19

Dear all, As part of the 'Genealogies of Knowledge II' conference to be held at Hong Kong Baptist University 7-9 April 2020, I would like to invite abstracts for a panel on 'Producing, Sharing and Transforming Knowledge on Social Media' - http://genealogiesofknowledge.net/events/gokconf2020/panels/social-media/. Both empirical papers and theoretical contributions addressing the epistemology of social media are welcome and the deadline for the submission of abstracts is 30 September. In recent years a multitude of disciplines have explored how knowledge is produced, shared and transformed on social media. A growing body of scholarship examines how knowledge is shared within large institutions (Razmerita, Kirchner, and Nielsen 2016; Roblek et al. 2013; Ravenscroft et al. 2012); in disaster response situations (Sutherlin 2013; Houston et al. 2015); among activists in social movements (Murthy 2018; Carney 2016); and participatory practices such as crowdsourcing (Sui, Elwood, and Goodchild 2013; Aitamurto 2016) and citizen journalism (Ali and Fahmy 2013; Bruns 2018). Methodologically focused research has also focused on social media as a source of data for the production of scholarly knowledge and a site of epistemological change - as illustrated by the growing use of visualisation techniques to make sense of the huge volumes of data generated by social media (Drucker 2014; Halpern 2015). This wide range of theoretical perspectives highlights the complexity of the relationship between social media and knowledge. The very visibility of knowledge exchange between social media users is valuable for avoiding the construction of 'knowledge silos' that are confined to specific institutional contexts (Leonardi 2014); however, that same visibility has proven a boon to repressive regimes that are keen to monitor their political opponents (Trottier and Fuchs 2015). The connective affordances of social media allow vast numbers of people to make individually small but collectively significant contributions in disaster response situations (Potts 2013), but they can also be used in economically exploitative ways to blur the boundaries between leisure and productive labour (Scholz 2013; Fuchs 2014). The potentially transformational impact of the huge volume of information generated by social media is tempered by ongoing debates about the filter bubbles derived from the ubiquity of opaque recommendation algorithms and the growing tendency towards homophily among social media users (Pariser 2011; Bruns 2019). This panel invites proposals focusing on the production, distribution and transformation of knowledge on social media understood broadly. Both empirical case studies and theoretical reflections on the epistemology of social media, and the extent to which they either require or encourage new forms of knowing, are encouraged. Potential topics to be explored in this panel include, but are not limited to: * The co-production and sharing of knowledge across linguistic and cultural boundaries via social media * The way in which knowledge is transformed as it moves through space and time on social media * Knowledge production on social media and power * Social media and performative knowledge * The production of knowledge through individual and connective social media storytelling * The interplay between online and offline practices of knowledge production * Social media and ways of knowing: ambient, dialogic, fragmented and affective knowledge * The changing practices of knowledge creation on social media since their rise to prominence in the mid-2000s * The interplay between culturally specific (and especially non-Western) ways of knowing and social media affordances and design * Algorithmic recommendation and knowledge production and distribution Submissions should be sent to me (Neil Sadler, n.sadler(a)qub.ac.uk) by 30 September 2019. Submissions should consist of: (1) Abstract (300-400 words, including up to 5 bibliographic references). (2) Contributor's 150-word (maximum) biodata written in the third person. See examples from a previous event here: http://genealogiesofknowledge.net/events/gok2017conference/presenters/. (3) Full affiliation(s) Notification of acceptance will be sent by 30 October 2019.

CFP: The production of participation in the digital world, Trondheim, Des 13-14
by Hendrik Storstein Spilker 22 Aug '19

22 Aug '19

The Production of Participation in the Digital World Call for papers and information about workshop in Trondheim, 12-13 December 2019. _Information_ The skeleton of our digital future is in the making today. In recent years, there has been a raising concern both in academia and the public about the way digitalization shapes society in overt and covert ways. Digital infrastructures both supports, transforms and co-creates social institutions and social life. With semi-autonomous, «smart» and «learning» algorithms, digital infrastructures have been delegated more responsibility and autonomy in filtering, sorting, and classifying vital information, and also with providing advice and making decisions, at the same time as they become less transparent to public scrutiny. Thus, digitalization transforms society and citizens more intensively both in scope and depth – not least in terms of potentials and risks related to democratic participation and empowerment. Public responses to this development have largely been reactive, dealing with the effects of the technologies rather than their raison d’etre. At the same time, this development has only to a limited degree been conceptualized by the social sciences. In order to pave the ground for a more proactive approach to technology development, our research group /Digitalization and social life/ at the Department for sociology and political science, NTNU invite to a two-day workshop in Trondheim in December. We call for contributions that confront the challenges posed by digitalization empirically and conceptually. With the heading /the production of participation/, we invite to a workshop where different arenas for and aspects of the development of digital technologies and infrastructures are studied, with a special focus on how the developments influence users’/citizens’/costumers’ participation and empowerment in digital society. Our starting point is that the conditions for future participation are carved out and battled over, openly or covertly, by and between different “production sites” and “actor collectives”. Although large platforms and technology companies may have dominated the battlefield the last decade, they are not the only contestants. Governments, nongovernmental organizations, cooperatives, consumers, citizens, incumbent businesses, individual entrepreneurs, hackers, visionaries, engineers, branders and workers all participate and contribute, consciously or unconsciously, to the shaping of the infrastructures of the future as they maneuver them today. More or less stable collectives and alliances are formed, and clashes among actors pursuing different interests take place at various levels, local, national, supranational, global. We call for contributions that address the sites, actors and dynamics involved in /the production of participation/://How is this work carried out? Through which strategies and techniques? Under which frameworks? What are the objectives and agendas of the various stakeholders? And how do they comply with democratic ideals of citizen empowerment and participation? _Call for papers_ The workshop will have 2-3 invited speakers (see below) and else consist of presentation of papers.We hereby invite those interested to send in title/abstracts of proposed papers/presentations, about 100-250 words, to Hendrik Storstein Spilker, email: hendrik.spilker(a)ntnu.no <mailto:hendrik.spilker@ntnu.no>(*deadline 20/10 2019*)*. *We want to include a fairly broad scope of papers, both theoretical and empirical, descriptive and normative, to cover the breadth of research efforts in this area, but encourage all contributors to actively address and engage in the challenges formulated in the title and ingress of this call. The seminar language will be English. For updates about place and program, follow our event page at https://www.facebook.com/events/2101469596815391/ *//* *//* _Keynote speakers_ We are very happy to announce the following exiting key note talks by our invited speakers: Dr. Lina Dencik, University of Cardiff: Civic participation in a datafied society Citizens are increasingly assessed, profiled, categorized and ‘scored’ according to data assemblages, their future behavior is predicted through data processing, and services are allocated accordingly. In a datafied society, state-citizen relations become quasi-automated and dependent on algorithmic decision-making. This raises significant challenges for democratic processes, active citizenship and public engagement. At the same time, we have seen a (re)emergence of citizen-centered democratic practices, from citizen assemblies to crowdsourced policies, that suggest a recognised need to enhance citizen voice in decision-making. Drawing on the on-going collaborative project ‘Towards Democratic Auditing’ carried out by the Data Justice Lab, in this talk I will engage with the question of advancing civic participationin a context of rapid technological and social transformation, considering also experiments in new democratic practices to ensure legitimacy, transparency, accountability and intervention in relation to data-driven governance. In so doing, I will outline emerging terrains for developing citizen agency in a datafied society. Bio: Lina Dencik is Reader at the School of Journalism, Media and Culture at Cardiff University, UK and is Co-Founder of the Data Justice Lab. She has published widely on digital media, resistance and the politics of data and is currently Principal Investigator of the DATAJUSTICE project funded by an ERC Starting Grant. Her publications include /Media and Global Civil Society/ (Palgrave, 2012), /Worker Resistance and Media /(Peter Lang, 2015), /Critical Perspectives on Social Media and Protest /(Rowman & Littlefield International, 2015) and /Digital Citizenship in a Datafied Society /(Polity, 2018). Website: https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/people/view/182924-dencik-lina Dr. Thomas Poell, University of Amsterdam: Governing platforms and Value-Centric Design Digital platforms enable user-driven forms of organization and collective action (Benkler 2006; Bennett and Segerberg 2013, Shirky 2008). Yet, platform-based activity is simultaneously centrally monitored and shaped through ubiquitous techno-commercial infrastructures (Couldry 2015; Fuchs 2017; van Dijck 2013). As platforms penetrate every sphere of life, this combination of distributed user participation and top-down techno-commercial steering undermines public institutions and destabilizes social relations, enhancing the precarity of labor, unsettling urban communities, and disrupting democratic public debate (van Dijck, Poell & de Waal 2018). In the light of these problems, this paper considers how the platformization of society can be governed in correspondence with vital public values. It argues that due to the nature of platform-based activity, effective governing arrangements need to be organized through a framework of ‘cooperative responsibility’, which revolves around the dynamic interaction between platforms, public institutions, and users, which include individual citizens, but also incumbent businesses, advertisers, NGOs, political parties, and other societal organizations (Helberger, Pierson & Poell 2018, 1). However, a major obstacle in developing such arrangements are the progressively entangled economic interests of the involved actors. In the name of optimization and cutting back public expenditure, governments actively contribute to platformization by deregulating markets and privatizing public infrastructures, while citizens increasingly dependent on asset-based welfare schemes revolving around platforms. Hence, future governing arrangements will need to be based on a new political pact informed by key public values and geared towards reducing dependence on corporate platforms. Reflecting on these challenges and drawing on proposals for value-centric design, this presentation will sketch the contours of such a pact. _Bio_: Thomas Poell, Ph.D. is senior lecturer in New Media & Digital Culture and Program Director of the Research Master Media Studies at the University of Amsterdam (NL). He has published widely on digital platforms and popular protest in Canada, Egypt, Tunisia, India, and China, as well as on the role of these platforms in the reorganization of key economic sectors, including journalism, education, and health care. Poell is co-author of /The Platform Society/ with José van Dijck and Martijn de Waal (Oxford University Press, 2018), offering a comprehensive analysis of how platforms disrupt markets and labor relations, circumvent institutions, transform social and civic practices and affect democratic processes. Furthermore, he co-edited /The Sage Handbook of Social Media/ with Jean Burgess and Alice Marwick (Sage, 2018), /Social Media Materialities and Protest /with Mette Mortensen and Christina Neumayer (Routledge, 2018), and /Global Cultures of Contestation/ with Esther Peeren, Robin Celikates, and Jeroen de Kloet (Palgrave/McMillan, 2017).

Resource - a sample digital campaign plan
by Colin Delany 20 Aug '19

Hi folks, I hope you're enjoying the (Northern Hemisphere) summer! If you're including digital politics and advocacy in your coursework this year, you might be interested in this sample digital campaign plan. It's written with American political campaigns in mind, but many of the same ideas would apply to advocacy campaigns as well as internationally. It's an excerpt from the latest edition of my guidebook to online politics and advocacy, and I'm happy to answer any questions (or to Skype into a class to talk about digital campaigning). Please let me know if you have ideas for improvements. http://www.epolitics.com/2019/08/15/a-sample-digital-plan-for-a-2020-politi… You might also be interested in another excerpt, this one published in Campaigns & Elections. It covers the factors to consider when you're planning an online campaign, whether for elected office or to advocate for change: https://www.campaignsandelections.com/campaign-insider/how-to-plan-your-dig… --cpd "How to Use the Internet to Change the World and Win Elections: A Comprehensive Guide to Online Politics for Campaigns & Advocates" [Ebook] http://www.epolitics.com/winning Colin Delany Epolitics.com -- digital strategy for politics and advocacy http://www.epolitics.com 202-422-4682 cpd(a)epolitics.com @epolitics
