4.30pm - 6.00pm Panel: Decolonising AI
With allapopp, Milagros Miceli, Marwa Fatafta. Moderated by Walid El-Houri.
In migration contexts, digital technologies and big data collection are programmed to be used for tracking, surveillance, and profiling. Looking beyond the harms or 'side effects' of AI and its dangerous impact on marginalised and racialised communities, Marwa Fatafta's presentation draws on the current reality of occupied Palestine.
Through a specific investigation of data work, the often overlooked labour essential to creating datasets, Milagros Miceli discusses how it plays a critical role in shaping AI technologies.
While engaging with recent developments in decolonial thought in the field of AI, and embracing both personal hopes and discomfort caused by the expanding post-Soviet decolonial dialogue, allapopp wants to facilitate a conversation about technology.
