Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The Oxford Internet Institute welcomes Meredith Broussard, Associate Professor at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute of New York University. Hosted by Professor Philip Howard, Director of the OII. Professor Broussard is a data journalist and author of “Artificial Unintelligence: How Computers Misunderstand the World.”
‘Artificial Intelligence & Social Justice’ will be making a case against “technochauvinism”—the belief that technology is always the solution— Professor Broussard looks at why social problems persist in every digital Utopia. She looks at high-profile failures like self-driving cars and facial surveillance in policing, and examines the ways these technologies reflect extremely human biases. If we understand the limits of what we can do with technology, she argues, we can make better choices about what we should do with it to make the world better for everyone.
