Algorithmic Societies
Ethics and policy in the artificial intelligence age
International seminar coorganised by the CCCB and the European project Algorithmic Societies about the AI social impacts.
Algorithmic discriminations
Thao Phan, Scott Wark, Rocco Bellanova, Carlos Castillo, Adrián Arnaiz & Piera Riccio
From clustering technologies to racialised surveillance and profiling, new spatial divisions are emerging in the algorithmic society. How is AI discriminating among populations of people? What are the implications for categories of race, gender and sexuality?
Artificial governance
Fabian Offert, Antoinette Rouvroy, Till Straube & Marta Galceran
From the modelling of climate to the use of algorithms in law, AI is engendering new political orders. What are the consequences of algorithmic classification, vision, and modelling for the ways in which societies are governed?
Experimental worlds
Orit Halpern, Mercè Crosas and Benjamin Jacobsen
Machine learning technologies are giving rise to new forms of experimentation on data societies. How is our social fabric being remade and reshaped through experiments with algorithms?
Prediction and discovery
Nanna Bonde, Ludovico Rella, Alexander Campolo, Johannes Bruder & Marta Handernawer
From finding patterns in data to detection "predictive" features, the idea of discovering new things has been important in the rise of AI systems. What happens when machine learning algorithms "discover" the attributes of societies? What happens to the data features that are lost or discarded ...
