Call for papers: The rise of AI society -workshop in Helsinki
A kind reminder of our up-coming cfp deadline <br> <br>THE RISE OF AI SOCIETY <br>MID-TERM WORKSHOP ORGANIZED BY RN24 (SOCIOLOGY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY <br>NETWORK) OF THE EUROPEAN SOCIOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION <br>MAY 28-29 2020; HELSINKI, FINLAND <br> <br>During the past few years, numerous countries and organizations have published <br>dozens of policies and strategies regarding the development of artificial <br>intelligence. The permeation of AI, machine learning and algorithmic thinking <br>into an increasing number of facets of everyday life, from banking and <br>medicine to transportation and law suggests that AI is becoming increasingly <br>ubiquitous in society. For science and technology studies (STS) this provides <br>a unique opportunity to study and understand social and technological change. <br>Not least since the development of AI touches upon so many of the central <br>themes within STS. <br>This workshop invites presentations which examine the rise of AI in society <br>and the consequences that is has in everyday life. Possible topics for <br>presentation topics may include, but is not limited to: <br> <br>- AI and governance <br> <br>- Algorithmic culture <br> <br>- AI and privacy/surveillance <br> <br>- AI in different professions such as healthcare, law, and <br>transportation <br> <br>- The design of AI systems <br> <br>- AI at home <br> <br>- Restructuring of activities for the application of AI, for example <br>in a workplace <br> <br>- The role of AI in organizational change <br> <br>- Implications of AI in knowledge production <br> <br>- Methodological approaches to study AI <br>We invite contributions from researchers at all stages of the academic career, <br>but we particularly encourage early career researchers to submit abstracts. <br>Abstracts should be no longer than 300 words. <br>Keynote speakers: <br>Ilpo Heln (University of Eastern Finland): What do algorithms do? An approach <br>for a sociology of datafication of health care. <br>Francis Lee (Uppsala University): The Politics of Algorithms: The Challenge of <br>AI, Big Data and Digitalization for Social Inquiry <br> <br>Abstract submission deadline is January 20, 2020.
