Hey #DataVisualization crowd! If you haven't already heard it, there is an awesome 99 Percent Invisible podcast on Florence Nightingale by Tim Harford: 99percentinvisible.org/episode/floren….
Our next AI Collaborative Network #AIEthics bookclub is tonight! Sarah Brown is leading our conversation about the brilliant Ruha Benjamin’s Race After Technology. If you want to join, let us know!
Congratulations Lewis Mitchell!
It’s been great to read @ShannonVallor’s insightful “Technology and the Virtues” this month with the AI Collaborative Network #aiethics #bookclub. The meetup to discuss it will be this Monday the 19th. More info: github.com/ofchurches/AI_…
Our 3rd Bioinformatics workshop in 2021 is open for registration! Together with leading expert @davisjmcc, our Bioinformatics team Jimmy Breen Nathan Watson-Haigh Nhi Hin will deliver hands-on training in RNAseq and Spatial Transcriptomics analysis. Please scan to sign up! #SAGC2021
This is not misinformation: Lewis Mitchell is giving a great sounding lecture tomorrow about misinformation. He’s promising maths and jokes. It’ll be fun and interesting. Get along to it!
From Thomas Bayes to Jean Baudrillard, If...then by Taina Bucher traverses the technical and political aspects of artificial intelligence with grace and insight. This is one of my favourite books yet from the AI Collaborative Network #aiethics #bookclub. Join us: github.com/ofchurches/AI_….
Thanks Laura Summers for leading the AI Collaborative Network #AIEthics #bookclub in another fascinating conversation, this time of Stuart Russell’s “Human Compatible”. Looking forward to next month’s discussion of “The Atlas of AI” by Kate Crawford.
Great to discuss #dementia with Edward Godfrey this afternoon, Hannah ⬇️
Nice one Tobin South! As a fan of measurement, the story of the Smoot is a classic and the Harvard Bridge is another stop of the “statistical history world tour” that should be made into a travel series.
Describing the world of AI ethics through linked travel stories is a brilliant frame for grounding the political problems of technology in the real considerations of our planet and the people who live here. Kate Crawford is the author for our current AI Collaborative Network bookclub.
