OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Knowledge, Power, and the Politics of AI
Recent advances in generative models are precipitating a crisis of AI-enabled misinformation, motivating further technical solutions to automate the moderation of facts. Yet within these systems, notions of “knowledge” and “facts” are either not rigorously defined, or follow a naive realist model, which excludes the possibility of nuanced and diverse viewpoints. In this talk, I will present an alternative model of knowledge as a material-discursive interaction between a knowing agent and the (virtual or physical) world, and discuss my in-progress thinking on its implications for the practice of building and evaluating generative AI systems and the limitations of knowledge in machines.
