Vandaag stonden we met 25.000 mensen op het Malieveld in Den Haag te demonstreren tegen de voorgenomen desastreuze bezuinigingen tegen het hoger onderwijs! #woinactie #stopdebezuinigingen

⚡️Join us! Next week Tuesday December 3, 5.30–7PM (CET).

Just Published: Fabian Offert and I co-wrote this piece on why you are (probably) doing AI criticism wrong as a humanist and why we need better methodological approaches to/in Critical AI Studies than 'So I asked ChatGPT a question and now I have thoughts...'

📢NEW: 'Open' AI systems aren't open. The vague term, combined w AI hype is (mis)shaping policy & practice, assuming 'open source' AI democratizes access & addresses power concentration. It doesn't. Sarah Myers West, Mostly here now: @davidthewid.bsky.social & I correct the record👇 nature.com/articles/s4158…

✨ Join us tomorrow ✨ We are very excited to have Mike Ananny // @[email protected] during the online #CriticalAI seminar series for his talk 'Stabilising Generative AI as a Public Concern' 🗓️ December 3, from 5.30-7PM (CET). Sign up: create.humanities.uva.nl/events/2-criti…

A slide on how the #AIstack today and how it could look like if we want democratic and ecological digital technologies Many more in our comprehensive proposal: ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/publi…

A question! Anyone working on industry/context specific cases of cloud-ification? i.e., finance, banking, media, retail etc etc using cloud platforms and tools?

🚨 Sussex AI PhD studentships - call is open now! Scholarships are available for researchers working at the intersection of multiple academic fields. I’m interested in supervising doctoral projects with strong philosophical approaches/research questions. sussex.ac.uk/study/fees-fun…

Exciting opportunity for PhD students! Apply for our workshop grant to organize a workshop around their own research and share their expertise with a new generation of scholars.

Something that is increasingly frustrating to me is the apparent need for all ML evaluation to be tied to a leaderboard. Other fields do not have a leaderboard for things like safety, robustness, etc. It's completely possible for models to be ranked and the top model to be awful.

Hot tip: check out, if you can subscribe to: The Syllabus. They slog through, curate, and surface worthwhile writing etc, delivered weekly out of the ocean of internet slop. Such a truly useful resource in this scattered, threadbare info environment ❤️🙏

We are so excited to (virtually) host Thao Phan later this month, Jan 21st, where she will share her project “Testing-in-the-wild: innovation nationalism and the colonial dynamics of new technology testbeds” Register here: centrefordronesandculture.com/events/testing…

📢 Happy 2025 from the #CriticalAI seminar team✨On January 22, 5:30–7 PM (CET) we continue our series with Lilly Irani who will talk about 'Algorithms of Suspicion,' focusing on authentication and distrust on digital labour platforms ⚡️Sign up: create.humanities.uva.nl/events/3-criti…

I am hiring a postdoc! Excellent research support, minimal teaching load, and an overall wonderful set up. The research focus is flexible as long as some part of your practice involves critical making or hands-on research in some form. (1/3)

🚨Really excited to start the year with a new article just published in Theory, Culture & Society on the intersection of synthetic data and AI: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02…
