CMS-EE Partners Program Tech Talk with MIT

Another AI is Possible
"AI" is supposedly everywhere and is always just about to be replacing everything. While we are surrounded by hype, some of the most important things that we lack right now, in relation to AI, are powerful and captivating imaginaries about how life with technology could be different. In this talk, I'll survey some epistemological approaches to AI, data and power, and speak about one case in which our research team co-designed "AI" (I mean, I guess it's AI?) with grassroots feminist data activists. Our approach models another AI, one that is boring and humble. It actually works and it is actually useful, yet it still has lots of problems.
