OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

In this seminar, we explore how care is augmented or depleted by Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI technologies are often positioned by the UK Government (and governments elsewhere) as a ‘solution’ to high levels of unmet care needs and poor working conditions and pay in the sector. Critiquing this position, we analyse: how AI technologies are funded and implemented in care in England; how neoliberal New Public Management discourses underlie the connection between AI and efficiency; and how these discourses omit to consider ethics and production processes behind technologies, which are where we see harms and the depletion of care.
Booking is required for people outside of the Department of Social Policy and Intervention (DSPI).
