Data Feminism for AI: A Talk by Lauren Klein
October 17 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Free
Please join us for a conversation with Dr. Lauren Klein in the new SJSU Digital Humanities Center. The development and use of artificial intelligence has become a hot button topic all over the world. How we use and collect data becomes the foundation for data storytelling. But, is this all okay? What is data? How is it being collected? What can we do about this? Are there innovative and ethical ways to use our data within the development of artificial intelligence?
Join us for this intriguing conversation: In Data Feminism (MIT Press, 2020), Klein and her coauthor Catherine D’Ignazio established a set of principles for doing more just and equitable data science. Informed by the past several decades of intersectional feminist activism and critical thought, the principles of data feminism modeled how to examine and challenge power, rethink binaries and hierarchies, elevate emotion and embodiment, consider context, embrace pluralism, and make labor visible. How can these principles be applied to the current conversation about AI, its present harms, and its future possibilities? This talk will briefly summarize the principles of data feminism before moving to a set of real-world examples that show how these principles can be applied – and extended – in our current technological landscape.
