SUMMARY:Algorithms of Oppression | @UxWien Book Club
DESCRIPTION:You might think that something like a search engine allows for equal access to information. Yet looking deeper into how we discover things\, there’s a culture of racism and sexism impacting what we find. \nBased on over 6 years of academic research\, Safiya Umoja Noble’s book looks into the internet’s biases and how it acts as a machine of oppression. In our next book club\, we’ll talk about what she found and discuss how these findings can inform our work as designers. \nAs always\, it isn’t obligatory to read the book to participate – we aim to provide enough information for everyone to be able to join the discussion.\nThe book club will be held online via Zoom and accompanied by a hands-on Miro board. Book club language is English. \nLooking forward to seeing you! \nYour hosts\nSabine Ballata & Sarah Hiebl \n\n

SUMMARY:The Powers & Perils of Social Media
DESCRIPTION:“Facebook\, Twitter\, Instagram\, and other social media platforms have transformed people’s relationships with culture\, the media\, and one another. These technologies have demonstrated that they have the power to sway popular opinion\, raise awareness\, and inspire movements. They can spark\, build\, and foster community…or be manipulated to create negativity and discord. \n\n\n\n\nJoin the National Institute of Social Sciences for a first-of-its-kind forum exploring social media’s pervasive influence on our society\, politics\, and culture. Dario Spina\, chief marketing officer at Viacom Velocity\, will lead a high-level discussion with experts from academia\, journalism\, social technology\, and industry. \nThe forum will begin at noon on Thursday\, October 17\, 2019 at Viacom’s White Box event space\, at its New York headquarters at 1515 Broadway. Tickets\, including a box lunch\, begin at $50 ($25 for students with ID).”

SUMMARY:Harvard Workshop on Comparative Disinformation
DESCRIPTION:“From misleading news stories around the 2018 Brazil elections to a lynching linked to false social media messages in India in 2019\, the deluge of digital disinformation is affecting communications in many countries around the world. \nThe situation is particularly concerning in emerging democracies\, where availability and affordability of digital communication technologies have facilitated production and distribution of false or misleading digital content among populations with low levels of media and digital literacy. At the same time\, we are witnessing false narratives spreading across countries and across platforms often orchestrated by networks of operatives coordinating attacks internationally. \nWhile several academic workshops have been organized on the topic of disinformation\, little attention has been paid to the examination of disinformation from comparative and international perspectives. \nThe Workshop on Disinformation to be held at Harvard University in Cambridge\, MA on October 4\, 2019 will feature scholars from around the world discussing their research on the prevalence\, impact\, and diffusion of disinformation.”

SUMMARY:"Please do not include us": Workshop on AI Ethics and Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:“Inclusion in AI development? At what cost\, and to whom? During this day-long workshop\, we aim to look at and evaluate tensions around the development of AI technology\, its social and political implications\, and the unintended effects that diversity and inclusion in AI have on different groups. \nAs has been evident\, technology and inclusion efforts have not always gone together seamlessly. For instance\, if we look at the popular rise of facial recognition tools over the past few years\, people of color have been excluded from the design and implementation process. The tools are often discriminatory\, fail to recognize people of color\, and at times\, misgender them. However\, in parallel\, facial recognition technology is increasingly integrated into police and state surveillance tools\, and perfecting that technology could significantly further impact communities that are already over-policed and over-surveilled. \nThis has led us to call out\, “Please Don’t Include Us.” During the convening\, we hope to bring these tensions to the forefront of conversations around AI development. We invite participation from people interested in exploring how to: \n1. Support the development of the network of community-based researchers and tech workers who are assessing the social impacts of AI \n2. Increase knowledge across this network of the ethical and legal implications of big data and inclusion \n3. Strengthen research about diversity\, equity\, and inclusion efforts across academia and industry \n4. Map out inclusion efforts within AI practices that negatively impact equity-seeking groups”
