30 Aug '22

Symposium: Wikipedia and Education in the Time of the “Crisis of Information” Friday 16 September 2022, 9am-4pm Anne Harding Centre - Building 24, University of Canberra In the age of the infodemic and growing distrust towards the institutions of liberal democracy there can be little doubt that information is in crisis. The Wikipedia and Education in the Time of the “Crisis of Information” Symposium brings together academics who use Wikipedia as part of their teaching practice or analyse wiki data, and key actors bridging the academia-Wikipedia divide. Participants will share their experiences, address Wikipedia’s potential to address the “crisis of information”, and critically reflect on what role educational institutions can play in this respect. The symposium will begin with the launch of the book Six Fact-Checking Lessons for Kids, which compiles educational resources developed as part of the Co-Developing a New Approach to Media Literacy in the Attention Economy research project. This project is part of the Affiliated Schools Research program, in which researchers from the University of Canberra collaborate with ACT school teachers.

Call for Proposals: Auditing Artificial Intelligence
by Nicole McAlee 29 Aug '22

29 Aug '22

Notre Dame-IBM Technology Ethics Lab 2022-2023 Call for Proposals Auditing Artificial Intelligence ---------------------------------------- OVERVIEW ---------------------------------------- Artificial intelligence increasingly undergirds, digitizes, and automates important processes in our society and economy, such as processing loan applications, making medical diagnoses, informing hiring decisions, surfacing information, and piloting autonomous vehicles. Recent headlines reveal that with such important outcomes on the line for individuals, organizations, and the broader society, it is critical that AI can be trusted to make fair and accurate decisions. Globally, legislation has been both proposed and passed to regulate AI; yet there is not yet broad consensus on the most effective ways to assess the implications of a given system prior to and during deployment. While the objectives that inform financial audits may translate to artificial intelligence in that a financial auditor gathers and inspects evidence to determine whether a company’s practices are free from material misstatement or fraud, an AI auditor may examine design documents, code, and training data to determine whether a company’s algorithms are free from material bias, inaccuracy, or other potentially consequential impact. Financial audits are just one example; other kinds of audits, such as IT, privacy, security, and operational audits, may provide models for examining the impact of decisions made by AI systems. The predicament remains daunting, however. As AI becomes more sophisticated, auditing it will only involve increasingly complicated ethical, social, and regulatory challenges. Dimensions that require auditing must be identified, agreed upon, and measured. AI auditors must be trained. Policies must be developed to govern the operations, credentialing, and impact of audits. The Notre Dame-IBM Technology Ethics Lab at the University of Notre Dame invites proposals for projects that grapple with these challenges and suggest innovative solutions. Potential areas for research and scholarship include, but are not limited to, the following: - Scope of AI audits - Regulatory frameworks for AI audits - Methodologies for AI audits - Skills for future AI auditors - Teaching methodologies for AI audits - How AI audits may impact various sectors and industries - Suggested best practices for AI audits - Adoption and deployment of AI audits Successful applications will propose a defined deliverable (such as, but not limited to, research papers, draft policy, model legislation, teaching materials, and impact assessments) that address the above challenges to be completed between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023. Key words: AI Ethics, Privacy, Controls, Risk assessment, Risk mitigation, Governance, Policy, Compliance, Evidence, Opinion, Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Integrity, Fairness, Bias, Accuracy, Trust, Impact assessment, Transparency ---------------------------------------- KEY DATES ---------------------------------------- 2022 - August 15 - Application period opens - September 18 - Application period closes - November 18 - Recipients notified 2023 - January 1 - Projects kick off - April - Virtual recipient workshop - June - Recipient workshop at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, USA - October - Virtual recipient workshop - December 31 - Projects close ---------------------------------------- PROJECT AWARDS ---------------------------------------- Recipients may apply for up to $60,000 USD in award funding and will have from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 to complete their project, including preparation, research, execution, and deliverables. A detailed budget and timeline should be submitted as part of the application. ---------------------------------------- TO APPLY ---------------------------------------- For full details of the call, including eligibility criteria, proposal preparation guidelines, and a link to the application form, please visit https://techethicslab.nd.edu/call-for-proposals/. Questions may be directed to techlab(a)nd.edu. Thank you! -- *Nicole McAlee* Program Manager Notre Dame-IBM Technology Ethics Lab 204 O'Shaughnessy Hall Notre Dame, IN 46556

Learner profiles: GRAILE Webinar (Sep 20)
by Vitomir Kovanovic 29 Aug '22

29 Aug '22

All, Learner profiles are a missing piece in the educational ecosystem. Models of personalization, computed curriculum, and industry relevant reskilling all require some type of persistent profile of the learner. GRAILE is pleased (to the degree that a non-human organization can have emotions) to announce an upcoming webinar to explore a range of challenges around profiles/models/graphs/record Sept 20 (USA time)/Sept 21 (Aust time). More info is here: http://www.graile.ai/events/<http://www.graile.ai/events> (and pasted below) Register: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/learner-profiles-the-missing-piece-in-learning… Please share widely. Learner Profiles: the missing piece in learning innovation<https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/learner-profiles-the-missing-piece-in-learn…> As individuals move through life, learning is now a constant need. Traditionally, learning has been captured in the form of grades and transcripts. Continual lifelong learning, however, requires different mechanisms for communicating capabilities, mindsets, and competencies. Learner profiles have been explored from various lenses and a clear, generally accepted, framework does not yet exist. Attempts at learner modelling, learner records, and learning graphs indicate a growing awareness of the need to develop a persistent profile of what a learner has learned. As individuals move between various stages of life - from K-12 to higher education, higher education to industry, and industry to reskilling - a learner profile would enable personalised learning and a record that accounts for what is learned outside of classrooms and formal education. For educators, learner profiles improve time to competence and ensure granular assessment. For state and national agencies, profiles provide a more nuanced assessment of learning gains within a system than current standard country-level comparisons. For learners, profiles improve quality of instruction, less time wasted on things already mastered, and greater recognition of learning that isn't confined to classrooms. For researchers, profiles enable a deeper understanding of how learners learn, where interventions are most impactful, and ways to adjust and improve pedagogy and learning design. This webinar will explore the history of learner profiles, detail actual work being conducted, and set the stage for future innovations and longer-term systemic impact.
