Critical Perspectives Date: Thursday, 16 December 2021 Time: 17.00-19.00 (UK time) Location: Online event - Zoom Meeting (please register so that we can send you the Zoom link) Registration: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/book-launch-ai-for-everyone-critical-perspec… We are entering a new era of technological determinism and solutionism in which governments and business actors are seeking data-driven change, assuming that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now inevitable and ubiquitous. But we have not even started asking the right questions, let alone developed an understanding of the consequences. Urgently needed is debate that asks and answers fundamental questions about power. This book brings together critical interrogations of what constitutes AI, its impact and its inequalities in order to offer an analysis of what it means for AI to deliver benefits for everyone. To celebrate the publication of AI for Everyone? Critical Perspectives, join its editor Pieter Verdegem and a panel of its contributors to discuss some of the key contemporary themes in this exciting area. Panelists will include Willian Araújo, Angela Daly, Lina Dencik, Rafael Grohmann, Dan McQuillan, Jenna Ng, Carrie O'Connell, Rainer Rehak, James Steinhoff. AI for Everyone? Critical Perspectives is published open access by the University of Westminster Press: https://www.uwestminsterpress.co.uk/site/books/e/10.16997/book55/ Biography Pieter Verdegem is Senior Lecturer in Media Theory in the Westminster School of Media and Communication and a member of the Communication and Media Research Institute (CAMRI), University of Westminster. His research investigates the political economy of digital media and the impact of digital technologies on society. He is editor of AI for Everyone?

The Global Pandemic has now impacted our daily lives for a longer time than most of us would have imagined a year ago. In 2020, the Coalition's Session was entitled: "*Internet in Crisis Management and Renewal <https://archive.org/details/dc-civ2020>*" - and this Crisis has continued to be the past year's "new normal". The Internet's impact has increased dramatically in all aspects of everyone's lives. Technically, it has coped well with this increased use, but there have also been calls for increased control and regulation. The DC on Core Internet Values will discuss these developments and these calls for regulation --- and explore whether these break Core Internet Values - including a comparison with the *6F Framework <https://archive.org/download/dc-civ2020/dc-civ2020_Pisanty_SLIDES.pdf>*. *SPEAKERS* *Olivier Crépin-Leblond*, ISOC UK England *Olga Makarova*, MTS *Alison Harcourt*, University of Exeter *Bob Frankston* *Jutta Croll, *German Digital Opportunities Foundation. *Desiree Miloshevic*, Global Initiative for Human-centred Digital Governance *MODERATOR* *Alejandro Pisanty*, UNAM *RAPPORTEUR* *Sivasubramanian Muthusamy*, APG *LIVESTREAM http://livestream.com/internetsociety/dc-civ2021 <http://livestream.com/internetsociety/dc-civ2021>* *AGENDA https://www.intgovforum.org/en/content/igf-2021-dc-civ-internet-regulation-… <https://www.intgovforum.org/en/content/igf-2021-dc-civ-internet-regulation-…>* *PARTICIPATE VIA ZOOM https://bit.ly/3ye9flT <https://bit.ly/3ye9flT>* *REAL TIME TEXT https://www.streamtext.net/player?event=CFI-IGF-CR8 <https://www.streamtext.net/player?event=CFI-IGF-CR8>* *TWITTER #IGF2021 #coreinternetvalues #dcciv <https://bit.ly/31Rrvpf> @Olivier_CL lga Makarova @alieliale Desiree Miloshevic @BobFrankston Jutta Croll* SIMULCAST *https://youtu.be/duYfGeENup4 <https://bit.ly/31Rrvpf>* (IGF) *https://www.facebook.com/IntGovForum/live* <https://www.facebook.com/IntGovForum/live> *https://www.twitter.com/ISOC_Live/ <https://www.twitter.com/ISOC_Live/>* *https://www.twitch.tv/isoclive <https://www.twitch.tv/isoclive>* *https://www.facebook.com/liveisoc <https://www.facebook.com/liveisoc>* *https://www.facebook.com/CoreInternetValues <https://www.facebook.com/CoreInternetValues>* *ARCHIVE* *https://archive.org/details/dc-civ2021 <https://archive.org/details/dc-civ2021>* *Permalink* https://isoc.live/14864/ - -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +12185659365 -------------------------------------- -

09 Dec '21

Apologies, the url got mangled by our institutional filters in the first post so I'm sending it as plain text. - - - Dear colleagues I'm happy to announce that we have just published our report on the Disrupting Digital Monolingualism workshop event which was held last year: https://zenodo.org/record/5743283 Subtitled 'A report on multilingualism in digital theory and practice', it summarises and analyses this virtual event which aimed to map the current state of multilingualism in digital theory and practice through, and across, languages and cultures. In recent years, various initiatives have aimed to address the challenges for digital linguistic diversity, including work on biocultural diversity, endangered languages, digital cultural studies, multilingual language technologies and global perspectives on digital humanities. This workshop aimed to strengthen connections between numerous overlapping digital and languages-driven conversations and initiatives. The report may interest those working on the following themes: 1. Linguistic and geocultural diversity in digital knowledge infrastructures 2. Working with multilingual methods and data 3. Transcultural and translingual approaches to digital study 4. Artificial intelligence, machine learning and NLP in language worlds The workshop was hosted by the Language Acts & Worldmaking project with the support of the Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community project, both projects funded by the AHRC as part of its Open World Research Initiative.

ACM IUI ESIDA Workshop CFP
by omokryn＠univ.haifa.ac.il 08 Dec '21

08 Dec '21

Fifth ACM IUI Workshop on Exploratory Search and Interactive Data Analytics (ESIDA) https://sites.google.com/view/esida2022/home 22 March 2022, Virtual Important Dates: Submission deadline: January 3, 2022 (midnight Hawaii time) Acceptance notification: January 28, 2022 Final manuscript due: February 11, 2022 Workshop: March 22, 2022 Workshop Description: This workshop will be part of the ACM Intelligent User Interfaces 2022 Conference (http://iui.acm.org/2022/) The workshop focuses on systems that personalize, summarize and visualize data for supporting interactive information seeking and information discovery, along with tools that enable user modeling and methods for incorporating user needs and preferences into both analytics and visualization. Additionally, exploratory search is an important tool in how people interact with algorithms online. Examples for interacting with online algorithms are recommender systems, and the understanding of online manipulation systems and algorithms, including bots and the promotion of fake news. Our aim is to bring together researchers and practitioners working on different personalization aspects and applications of exploratory search and interactive data analytics. This will allow us to achieve four goals: (1) propose new strategies for systems that need to convey the rationale behind their decisions or inference, and the sequence of steps that lead to speciﬁc (search) results; (2) develop new user modeling and personalization techniques for exploratory search and interactive data analytics; (3) develop design principles for exploratory search of online algorithms and systems; (4) develop a set of evaluation metrics for personalization in exploratory search. The workshop aims to solicit submissions in the following areas of personalized interactive data analytics and exploratory search: Personalized interactive exploration via interactive data analytics: – personalization aspects in systems for exploratory search. – cross-domain/ context-aware/ cross-platform exploratory search systems. Data analytics: – interactive interfaces for data-intensive platforms. – preprocessing vs. online processing. – interactive data visualization – evaluation of human-centered exploratory search and data analytics. Explainable intelligent systems: – metrics for explainable exploratory search. – explainability and transparency in expert vs. non-expert systems. – human-in-the-loop analytics systems. – efﬁcient vs. explainable analytics. – user perception of explainability and transparency in interactive intelligent systems. Interaction with Online algorithms – conveying awareness of algorithmic fairness and bias in retrieval systems. – exploratory studies of online algorithms and recommender systems. – exploratory search of online manipulation systems and algorithms (e.g., fake news and bots). – interactively modelling user’s information needs for high-recall information retrieval. – new applications of exploratory search and interactive data analytics.
