The eighth edition of the Slow Reading Group led by V2_Fellow Renee Turner. The subject is AI & gender inequality.
Against the pace of infinite urgencies surrounding AI and gender inequality, deceleration is embraced to:
·
slowly
read together
·
look
at gender inequality & AI, while not reinforcing the binary
·
engage
in an intersectional analysis (Crenshaw)
·
commit to inter/transdisciplinary approaches that do not seek to centre
technology but rather situate and challenge it (ethos: Audre Lorde's adage that
the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house.)
·
envision technology in its broadest and entangled sense as neither tool
nor interface (Haraway).
·
question how fairness and equality are defined and according to whose
terms and conditions
·
explore
the possibilities of refusal – the right not to be datafied
·
foster forms of fictioning that engage the speculative imagination to
reach outside the restraints of wicked problems and prototype what might be
otherwise
·
share
knowledge by generating a living glossary and bibliography of references
(including forms of practices, texts and other resources), while resisting the
calcification associated with required
reading
·
explore
the idea of machine pedagogies versus machine learning in order to interrogate
what is knowledge acquisition in this
context
·
search
for and acknowledge our blind spots and biases as we move along
·
read
up to power up (Corita Kent)
·
update
and alter these aims in light of insights acquired as we move along
