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
Dr Tom Parr: In this talk, I present and build on the central line of argument defended in my recent monograph, Empowering Workers in an Age of Automation, clarifying how labour market policymakers should respond to the emerging threats and opportunities associated with artificial intelligence. More substantively, I argue for a human-centred approach that emphasizes the ways in which workers can benefit from the availability of artificial intelligence, but that assigns governments a pivotal role in securing this outcome. The resulting account is sensitive to the empirical reality, cautions against sensationalist narratives, and suggests an exciting interdisciplinary research agenda that demands that we integrate philosophical insights with findings from across the humanities and social sciences.
