SUMMARY:Prototyping Feminist AI | Stanford University HAI
DESCRIPTION:How can feminist methodologies and approaches be applied and be transformative when developing AI and ADM systems? How can AI innovation and social systems innovation be catalysed concomitantly to create a positive movement for social change larger than the sum of the data science or social science parts? How can we produce actionable research that will lead to the profound changes needed – from scratch – in the processes to produce AI? Can we prototype better digital futures? Which disciplines should we include? Where are the gaps? And how can we make a strong case to prototype different\, better digital futures\, before embarking on big AI projects in the public sector? The seminar will collect ideas and experiences from different disciplines to draft a blueprint for a better modelled digital future. \n[…]\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:“News you don’t believe”: User perspectives on f*ke news and misinformation | Shorenstein Center
DESCRIPTION:Users’ perspectives on what f*ke news and misinformation is and isn’t\, who drives it\, and where people say they see it are important for understanding the scale and scope of public concern\, and how this corresponds with research insights and aligns with proposed responses to these problems\, as well as for the credibility and even effect of responses. In this presentation\, Professor Rasmus Kleis Nielsen\, Director of the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism\, will use survey data and focus group material from Reuters Institute research to present an overview of user perspectives on “fake news” and misinformation more broadly\, and identify some commonalities and differences between how\, respectively\, the public\, researchers\, and policymakers talk about these problems. \n[…] \n\n

SUMMARY:Cybersecurity in 2021 and Beyond: The Aftermath of the SolarWinds Attack | Georgetown University
DESCRIPTION:In December 2020\, it was first reported that SolarWinds\, a major US information technology firm\, experienced a massive cyberattack which affected up to 18\,000 clients\, including numerous US government agencies and Fortune 500 companies whose networks and data were exposed and vulnerable for months. \nDescribed by Microsoft’s president Brad Smith\, one of the affected clients\, as “the largest and most sophisticated attack the world has ever seen\,” the US government investigation attributed the cyberattack to Russian intelligence\, with Russia then denying responsibility. As details continue to emerge\, the implications will affect a range of sensitive activities—from software supply chain management to strategies to protect critical infrastructure\, to new approaches in national and global cybersecurity. \n[…]

SUMMARY:AI\, Autonomous Systems and Espionage: The Coming Revolution in Intelligence Affairs | Georgetown University
DESCRIPTION:f–field f–eyebrow  \n f–field f–page-title  \n cc–component-container cc–intro  \n\nArtificial Intelligence and autonomous systems are poised to transform the practice of espionage. This “revolution in intelligence affairs” will lead to machines serving as more than just tools for collection and analysis\, but as intelligence consumers\, decision-makers\, and targets of intelligence operations. Former National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Chief Technology Officer Anthony Vinci will join CSET Distinguished Fellow and Former NGA Director Robert Cardillo for an illuminating discussion on the coming intelligence revolution and how the U.S. government should adapt for this new reality. \n[…]\n\n f–field f–richtext

SUMMARY:Foresight and Decolonial Humanitarian Tech Ethics | Berkman Klein Center
DESCRIPTION:Can humanitarian actors play a more intentional role in designing just and equitable digital futures? Could we\, in fact\, design worlds that don’t imagine some figures\, particularly populations that we serve in the global south\, to merely be passive beneficiaries and outside of the borders of expertise we seek? Instead of looking at digital governance in terms of control\, weaving in feminist and decolonial approaches might help liberate our digital futures so that it is a space of safety and of humanity\, and through this design new forms of digital humanism. \nJoin Anasuya Sengupta\, Sabelo Mhlambi\, Andrew Zolli\, and Aarathi Krishnan as they discuss if humanitarian actors can play a more intentional role in designing just and equitable digital futures. \n[…]

SUMMARY:Racialized Disinformation and Real World Consequences | NetGain
DESCRIPTION:In the wake of heightened online radicalization over the past several years\, including the rise of far-right nationalism\, violence\, and harms to democracy globally\, it is clear that technology platforms are playing an outsized role in amplifying racialized disinformation and fomenting real world consequences. \nAs lawmakers and civil society grapple with the policy and legal interventions available to protect communities and democratic practices\, it is also important to understand the ways in which technology is stoking racialized disinformation. The insurrection at the U.S. Capitol\, the rise of white supremacist hate groups\, the uptick in violence against Asian Americans\, and the pervasiveness of anti-Black racism all underscore the urgency of addressing racialized disinformation in the U.S. \n[…]

SUMMARY:The Future of Democracy Ep. 41: The role of race in American political views | Knight Foundation
DESCRIPTION:While the last year has seen broad-based calls for racial equity in the United States\, protests often don’t always translate into policy outcomes.

Wilson\, incoming dean of the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California\, Berkeley. \n[…]

SUMMARY:OxDEG: Exploring the Flat Earth: Beliefs\, Identity\, and Rationality | Oxford Internet Institute
DESCRIPTION:In this seminar Dr. Krafft will report on a mixed methods study of the North American Flat Earther community\, drawing on documents from two Flat Earth Society websites\, three surveys\, and participant observation at the 2018 Flat Earth International Conference. Across the three surveys they find that around 20-30% of respondents are at least to some extent uncertain that the shape of the earth is round. Drawing on interpretive methods\, they conduct an investigation of what meaning flat earth beliefs have to their adherents. The varieties of motivations and meanings identified challenge existing prominent models of belief formation that have recently been employed in the fields of human-computer interaction and media studies. \n[…]

SUMMARY:How to Save Ourselves From Disinformation\, a Times Event | The New York Times
DESCRIPTION:You’ve seen it. That meme that seems just too good to be true. That outlandish story your family member prefaced with\, “Can you believe he said that?” followed by a video link of unknown origin and vintage. \nWe are in an era of misinformation — and even disinformation\, when someone intentionally disseminates false or misleading information. And while there are some bad actors\, also important are social and psychological forces that lead people to spread and fall for false information in the first place. \nJoin Sarah Silverman\, comedian and host of the Sarah Silverman Podcast\, and Times reporters Kevin Roose\, Sheera Frenkel and Davey Alba as they untangle the roots of disinformation\, and the effects it has on our world. \n[…]

SUMMARY:Police Violence\, Racial Injustice\, and the Press: Reflections on Coverage of the Chauvin Trial | Shorenstein Center
DESCRIPTION:The trial of Derek Chauvin sparked national conversations about violent policing and racial injustice. In its wake\, how should policy makers\, police\, and journalists respond? The New Yorker staff writer Jelani Cobb (Spring 2018 Shorenstein Writer in Residence) and BBC correspondent Tara McKelvey (Fall 2012 Shorenstein Fellow) — who both covered the trial from Minneapolis — will join The Atlantic staff writer Adam Serwer (Spring 2019 Shorenstein Fellow) to discuss how public discourse and press coverage have and have not changed in the fallout of the trial. Institute of Politics executive director Setti Warren will moderate the event. \n[…]\n\n
