SUMMARY:Auto-Correct: Fantasies & Failures of AI Ethics in the Driverless Car
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book talk and workshop.\n \nBook Talk\nWhen: Monday\, September 8 · 11 am – 12:30 pm PDT \nWhere: DataX\, Murphy Hall 3312\, 410 Charles E Young Drive East Los Angeles\, CA 90095 \nRSVP for the book talk here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is a book talk by Dr Maya Indira Ganesh (Leverhulme Center for Futures of Intelligence\, Cambridge) based on her first monograph. The “trolley problem” remains a useful exercise in drawing out the differences between utilitarian and deontological approaches to ethics in analytic philosophy. However\, the thought experiment also determined imagining what AI-infused artefacts should be capable of\, suggesting that ethical decision-making becomes a data-driven enterprise rather than a human\, social\, or individualised practice. Maya Indira Ganesh tracks the language\, materiality\, and culture of epistemic tools that establish safety and automobility as problems to be solved by the driverless car\, examining outputs of AI systems versus what constitutes our social and technological presents and futures. \nWorkshop\nWhen: Tuesday\, September 9 · 10 am – 1 pm PDT \nWhere: Center for the Study of Women|Barbra Streisand Center\, 1500 public affairs building\, UCLA (Entry from Jimmy’s Coffeeshop side) Los Angeles\, CA 90095 \nRSVP for the workshop. \nJoin us for a free workshop on AI\, Time & Futurity at UCLA with Dr Maya Indira Ganesh (Leverhulme CFI\, UK). Time haunts AI. An origin story in the summer of 1955 that has acquired the status of myth and fact; geopolitical races; the contradictions and entanglements of longtermist and accelerationist ideologies; law and regulation that fail to keep up; promised breakthroughs from the driverless car to superintelligence that fail to arrive\, or seem eternally just around the corner. Computational time is also infrastructural: the lag in software updates pushed to the cloud and then to fleets of driverless cars and mobile phones (Mattern\, 2017). Temporality works unevenly affording ‘just in time’ deliveries for the busy\, but at the cost of bio-social control of delivery workers and on-demand mobility service providers (Sharma\, 2014). \nPresented by:\nUCLA Department of Information Studies \nCosponsored by: \nUCLA Center for the Study of Women|Barbra Streisand Center
