Activity: Participating in or organising an event typesOrganization of a workshop, panel, session, tutorial or event

Description

There has been an increasing interest in discussing implications of AI technologies in terms of ethics and sustainability. This workshop brings such questions into focus by exploring questions of ethics and sustainability through the use of Fictional News Articles. We use Fictional News Articles to cast forward 15 years to 2038 to imagine the future trajectories of AI, and reflect on how we got there. By writing Fictional News Articles – articles of events that are yet to take place and to be written – we will unpick critical tensions in the advancement of AI over the next decades. The workshop invites participants to develop perspectives and sensitivities on the futures of AI-enabled society and to critically reflect on the assumptions, methods, and tools for enabling (and disabling) such futures, with a particular focus on questions of ethics and sustainability.
