Bernd, I thought you might know of someone this could be interesting for too. ________________________________ From: Gabrielle Samuel > Sent: 14 January 2025 10:42 To: Carolyn Ten Holter > Subject: favour! Hey Carolyn, I hope you're well! I was wondering if you would mind circulating this job ad through any of your RRI networks? [I've done ASSIST but I'm not sure of others]. Also any other networks you may know of? Eg health etc. Thank you so much!! https://www.kcl.ac.uk/jobs/102766-post-doctoral-research-associate The role is part of a Wellcome-funded large multi-national project applying a critical, but constructive, lens to the tools developed to encourage and enable more environmentally sustainable health research. Essentially, the role would suit a recently graduated PhD student with a background in STS, RRI/RI and/or conducting research on research. It would be useful to have a background/interest in health and/or environmental issues, but this is not essential, so we encourage anyone with an interest in the topic to get in touch for a chat!

It is part of my RAi UK project and is time to connect to the RAISE workshop this week. Details are attached. Please feel to come along and join the discussion. If you plan to attend (and have not already told me) let me know, in case I need to order more biscuits ? Best wishes Helena -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Learn why this is important Dear Dr. Bernd Stahl, We are writing to invite you to attend a workshop advancing an international initiative to integrate the humanities, data science, and engineering in shaping the future of artificial intelligence. The Doing AI Differently initiative challenges traditional approaches to AI development by positioning humanities perspectives as integral?rather than supplemental?to technical innovation. London Workshop, Date & Venue: * Date: Thursday, 13 March 2025, 10am-4pm * Location: The Royal Academy of Engineering (Prince Philip House), London SW1 * Working group sessions: continue on Friday, 14 March 2025, 10am-4pm * Aligned with the Alan Turing Institute?s major annual conference (AIUK) on 17-18 March The workshop is an early opportunity to discover and help to refine the research vision and topic scope for an Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC?UKRI) International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF) funding call launching April 2025. This call will focus on UK, US and Canadian collaborations. Core Challenges 1. Developing Interpretive Technologies. Leveraging current AI architectures to implement deeper interpretive capabilities, developing approaches to represent multiple perspectives and capture semantic depth while maintaining computational tractability. 2. Exploring Alternative AI Architectures. Exploring fundamentally new approaches to AI design that move beyond current limitations in foundation models and gradient-based learning to enable more pluralistic and culturally adaptive AI systems. 3. Advancing Human-AI Ensembles Moving beyond simple substitution or assistance models, to foster new relationships between human and artificial intelligence, each contributing unique capabilities to achieve outcomes neither could accomplish alone. Initiative Objectives: 1. Develop pilot projects demonstrating humanities-driven technical advances in AI 2. Establish funding mechanisms fostering interdisciplinary partnerships 3. Create scalable pathways for humanities scholars to participate in large-scale AI projects Expected Outcomes: - New paradigms for addressing complex, context-dependent tasks in AI - Enhanced AI tools for deep contextual analysis across disciplines - AI systems better aligned with societal values and ethical considerations The rapid advances in increasingly sophisticated AI systems makes this timing critical, and we seek to develop inclusive, research-led ideas that will provide practical ways to address some of the recommendations set out in the recent UK Government AI Opportunities Action Plan. This initiative adds the opportunities for research and innovation in AI ? artificial intelligence ? in the UK (see Transforming our world with AI). More Information: * View our complete vision statement: www.newreal.cc/doingaidifferently * To attend please complete an expression of interest HERE by 17 February 2025. We will be in touch to confirm your attendance by 19 February 2025. * A limited number of bursaries are available to support travel costs for participants who do not have other institutional support. See expression of interest form for details. * Capacity for the in-person workshop is limited. The workshop will also be available to stream online, with some opportunities for interaction for remote participants. * A list of recommended hotels is available on request.
