Last week was the culmination of months of work with @ZoeElenaHorn, @younglibbyj & @nedcpr bringing to life the 2nd iteration of our very young (and possibly inadequately named) Critical Technology Studies network. As usual, I've no decent photos... 🧵1/2

This paper on the extreme threats arising from AI frustrated me.

It has been a busy month here. Our @timdavies summarises all he has been up to in these WeekNotes inc information about how you can get involved in exploring participatory data #governance through games; and early reflections on #GlosDataDay last week.

The debate around the future of the UK's #data and #AI approach is hotting up this afternoon with the 2nd Reading of #DPDIBill
But this is not merely a 'tech' thing - It's a matter of politics and priorities. 🧵

If you’re a PhD in Australia & the Pacific researching technologies in critical ways, save the date for our workshop! Many of us recognise the challenges in this space are immense and need our collective efforts. Come help build a network and map our work @nedcpr @glenberman

[Libby Young @younglibbyj]

Travel scholarships available thanks to @sydneylawschool @westsyduics, and additional support from @anucybernetics @3AInstitute. We’re thrilled to be a satellite event of the @AdmsCentre annual symposium on 13-14 July, also at Sydney Law School. Application details to follow soon

[Libby Young @younglibbyj]

The workshop builds on the conversations and collaborations coming out of a PhD-led workshop @ANUcybernetics last Sept, organised by @glenberman @LorennRuster and @lprzhedetsky, and the excellent @AdmsCentre summer school last month.

"The computer is God in that place" said one of the organisers of the #amazonstrike at the Coventry picket line today.

"There's no humanity, and its taking its toll on people" he told our campaigner @AdamC_Corn, who's looking into the impact of #data and #AI on workers.

Excited to start a new project on AI in insurance! Bringing normative philosophy of computing together with law, sociology and CS in a power rangers mashup with some of my fave Aussie scholars—@Jenny_L_Davis @tiberiocaetano @damicli @kim_weatherall and Chris Dolman from @IAGAust

Catching up on @ConnectedByData’s final #weeknotes from 2022, including on research I’m doing with them on popular stories about *collective* data governance. These stories are hard to find! Hard to tell well. And maybe better thought of as *relational*. We’ll share more soon.

[Jeni Tennison @JeniT]

Just read through the bumper final set of #weeknotes from the team @ConnectedByData...

@alburystreet and I both talk about our reflections following a roundtable discussion with @shoshanazuboff

So glad this has been written! It’s not super cool how smooth the platform takeover of academic publishing has been.
