Dear all, I'm excited to share that my colleagues Noopur Raval and Amba Kak today launched a new project: A New AI Lexicon: Responses and Challenges to the Critical AI Discourse <https://medium.com/a-new-ai-lexicon/a-new-ai-lexicon-responses-and-challenges-to-the-critical-ai-discourse-f2275989fa62>. The project aims to expand and revise critical AI thinking by attending to global racial histories, diverse queer movements, struggles of caste and tribe communities, and their specific place-based demands especially outside of the West. We need a more expansive stocktaking of race and gender relations as well as the variegated forms of marginalization globally. *As part of this project, we are inviting short essays that address or challenge a dominant concept, metaphor, or keyword along which critical AI thinking is currently undertaken *(like Fairness, Transparency, Accountability, Bias, Auditing, Ghost Labor, Explainability, Social Good etc.). *Or identify new terms or formulations currently missing from the discourse.* We encourage academics, activists, journalists and others, especially early career or junior colleagues researching global AI histories, materialities and futures to apply. We are able to offer financial support to a limited number of contributors, and the submission guidelines are available here: A New AI Lexicon Project <https://medium.com/a-new-ai-lexicon/a-new-ai-lexicon-responses-and-challenges-to-the-critical-ai-discourse-f2275989fa62> . If you have any questions, or know someone who would be a good fit for this project, please feel free to reach out to Noopur (noopur@ainowinstitute.org) or Amba (amba@ainowinstitute.org). Thanks very much, -- *Dr. Sarah Myers West* Postdoctoral Researcher AI Now Institute New York University sarah@ainowinstitute.org | @sarahbmyers
