If Everything is True—Knowledge and Manipulation Felix Stalder (media and cultural theorist) Lecture

Datafication of Science Kate Crawford (Distinguished AI Scholar) and Trevor Paglen (artist) Lecture

Are Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning really the right metaphors to address training sets that feed into automated processes? Kate Craword and Trevor Paglen look into the production of training data and uncover the historical origins, labor practices, infrastructures, and epistemological assumptions, with biases and skews built into them from the outset. Departing from these observations they ask: Is there a possibility for decentralized, vernacular AI? How does computational centralization relate to reduction?

Discussion Kate Crawford, Trevor Paglen, Felix Stalder, and Luc Steels, moderated by Bernd Scherer
