SUMMARY:Webinar: AI & Socio-Technical Values\, Carla Vieira
DESCRIPTION:As AI becomes increasingly embedded in our daily lives\, it is shifting society’s core socio-technical values and leaving many grappling with the ethical implications of its use. Concepts like privacy\, accountability\, and fairness are being reshaped by AI-driven applications. For instance\, the recent AI-generated Ghibli-style images has sparked debates over privacy\, copyright\, artistic integrity\, and the nature of creativity itself. The machine learning models that power AI don’t just reflect existing values—they actively shape them\, influencing the way we navigate an AI-driven world. \nFor this month’s AI Expert webinar\, we have invited Senior Data Engineer and Google Developer Expert in Machine Learning\, Carla Vieira to explore these critical intersections\, examine how AI challenges and redefines our ethical and societal norms\, how sector-specific interests shape ethical considerations\, and highlight best-case examples where societies are actively safeguarding human values in the age of AI. \nJoin us for this timely and highly relevant session on Thursday\, June 26th at 11a ET. \nRegister at: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_iDbKXgdSSh-AbrDiZFduZw \nSpeaker profile: \n \nCarla is a Brazilian Senior Data Engineer and Google Developer Expert in Machine Learning. She holds a master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence\, with research focused on building trustworthy and explainable AI systems. She was listed as a Rising Star (2021) in Women in AI Ethics.  She is an active speaker and mentor\, dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion in tech. Carla’s work focuses on the ethical implications of AI\, ensuring that advancements benefit all sectors of society. Outside of her professional life\, she enjoys doing crossfit\, reading\, and travelling.

SUMMARY:Reading Circle: AI + Feminism - Cyborg | Laura Forlano
DESCRIPTION:BOOK TITLE: Cyborg \nAUTHOR: Dr. Laura Forlano \nDESCRIPTION: (source: Bookshop.org) \n \nThis introduction to cyborg theory provides a critical vantage point for analyzing the claims around emerging technologies like automation\, robots\, and AI. Cyborg analyzes and reframes popular and scholarly conversations about cyborgs from the perspective of feminist cyborg theory. Drawing on their combined decades of training\, teaching\, and research in the social sciences\, design\, and engineering education\, Laura Forlano and Danya Glabau introduce an approach called critical cyborg literacy. Critical cyborg literacy foregrounds power dynamics and pays attention to the ways that social and cultural factors such as gender\, race\, and disability shape how technology is imagined\, developed\, used\, and resisted. \nForlano and Glabau offer critical cyborg literacy as a way of thinking through questions about the relationship between humanity and technology in areas such as engineering and computing\, art and design\, and health care and medicine\, as well as the social sciences and humanities. Cyborg examines whether modern technologies make us all cyborgs—if we consider\, for instance\, the fact that we use daily technologies at work\, have technologies embedded into our bodies in health care applications\, or use technology to critically explore possibilities as artists\, designers\, activists\, and creators. Lastly\, Cyborg offers perspectives from critical race\, feminist\, and disability thinkers to help chart a path forward for cyborg theory in the twenty-first century. \n  \nAUTHOR BIO:  \n  \n \nLaura Forlano is a Fulbright award-winning and National Science Foundation funded scholar\, is a disabled writer\, social scientist and design researcher. She is Professor in the departments of Art + Design and Communication Studies in the College of Arts\, Media\, and Design and Senior Fellow at The Burnes Center for Social Change at Northeastern University. Forlano is also an Affiliated Fellow at the Information Society Project at Yale Law School. She received her Ph.D. in communications from Columbia University. \nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura4lano/  \nRELATED LINKS \n\nLinkedIn \nAuthor website \n[PDF] TechnoFeminism by Judy Wajcman \nInfrastructuring as Critical Feminist Technoscientific Practice – spheres\nFeminist Hacking/Making: Exploring new gender horizons of possibility » The Journal of Peer Production\nA New AI Lexicon: Smart – AI Now Institute\n\n
