Ten years ago, Drew Hemment, Director of Festival Futures at the Edinburgh Futures Institute, proposed to think of festivals as dynamic labs for social and technological innovation. This August, he will be featured as the keynote speaker at the Mutek Festival forum in Montreal, Canada. In his opening keynote at the Summit, Hemment revisits the "Festivals as Lab" concept. With recent shifts in our sociocultural landscape, he explores the relevancy and future of festivals. Asking the all powerful question, where do we go from here? https://lnkd.in/eqf6xXAc #announcement #festivals #speaker #keynote #canada #research #uoe #edinburgh MUTEK The Alan Turing Institute The University of Edinburgh Edinburgh College of Art Edinburgh Futures Institute Drew Hemment

📢 JOB ALERT Exciting opportunity to join The Alan Turing Institute as a Research Associate, Humanities and Social Sciences in Human-AI Teaming. Are you an innovative and interdisciplinary researcher with a robust social science or humanities background? Are you interested in research on the fundamentals of human–AI collaboration? If so, then apply today! Deadline to apply is the 7th of August. #job #researcher #AI #humanities #socialscience #research #innovation The University of Edinburgh Edinburgh Futures Institute Design Informatics, University of Edinburgh
Join our team to work on foundational principles of human-AI collaboration #DCE #AI The Alan Turing Institute, the UK’s national institute for data science and AI, is a place for inspiring, exciting work. We need passionate and innovative people who want to use their skills to contribute to our mission to make great leaps in data science and AI research to change the world for the better. Turing and the University of Edinburgh are leading an international effort to unite the strengths of the humanities, arts, social science, engineering, and data science to address the challenges of today and tomorrow. This initiative within the Data-Centric Engineering programme will advance ambitious and novel research. It focuses on high risk and high potential concepts, and on empowering a sustainable and safe future for all. As interactions between people and intelligent systems become increasingly sophisticated, it is necessary to address human and technical aspects together. We are opening a new field for research at the intersection of data-centric engineering with the humanities, arts and social sciences. The research focus is to develop and deepen understanding on foundational principles of human-AI collaboration to enhance the interactions and synergies between humans, AI, and physical systems. We are recruiting a Research Associate, Humanities and Social Sciences in Human-AI Teaming to conduct excellent research on the fundamentals of human–AI collaboration/interaction, and to introduce humanities and social science perspectives to the study of human-AI teaming. For further information see link, deadline 7 August 2024. Human-AI teaming is the collaborative interaction between humans and AI systems to enhance decision-making and performance. This research will - investigate how a holistic approach can enhance technological innovation, while also ensuring that AI systems are ethical, inclusive, and attuned to human experiences and values - explore and shape the convergence of data science and engineering with the humanities, design, social and cognitive sciences. - foster innovative and responsible human-AI teaming. - bridge and combine perspectives to make breakthroughs between traditional disciplinary spaces, theory and methodology. This opportunity will suit an innovative, interdisciplinary researcher with a robust social science or humanities background. Someone who is passionate about the potential for cross-disciplinary research to change the world. They will be central to an international effort to unite the strengths of humanities, social science, engineering and data science to address societal, environmental and economic challenges. They will join an interdisciplinary team within the Data-Centric Engineering programme at The Alan Turing Institute, with strong collaborative links to The New Real at the University of Edinburgh.

We are happy to be supporting The TikTok: Work, Time, and Play in a Platform Economy conference on the 14th of June. This one-day conference brings together papers that analyse emerging digital visual culture(s) and aesthetics through critical platform analyses. With particular interest in TikTok, as it is a platform where many dynamic digital subcultures proliferate and circulate. Over the last decade, the internet has been subsumed by a complex of privately owned online services that call themselves ‘platforms’. This has radically altered the coordinates of the internet, from a peer-to-peer communications infrastructure to an extractive arguably ‘neo-feudal’ system. In light of these recent shifts, the conference will rethink a number of questions about digital culture that were initially explored in the early 2010s, with the rise of Web 2.0. Papers will explore contemporary understandings of the construction of the self and collective identity, digital labour and cultural production, political discourse online, digital affect, and more. Keynotes by Aris Komporozos-Athanasiou and Y7 (Hannah Cobb & Declan Colquitt).
