Topics, sessions and talks

Beyond Bias: AI Mythbusting

Can only personal data be debiased? No! Can you 'balance bias'? No! Dr Eleanor Drage tackles the myths about artificial intelligence (AI) and challenges how we currently think about 'bias'.

Towards Feminist AI

The words feminist AI might conjure up images of pink robots, but in this presentation, Eleanor Drage shows how feminist ideas about consent, objectivity, and the good life are transforming how we build AI.

AI Today: AI's Myths, Politics, Visions For The Future

Humanity has sought truth through technology for millennia, from tarot cards and microscopes to photographs and fingerprinting. The assumption that the more ‘advanced’ our technologies get, the better we understand the world has led people to believe that artificial intelligence (AI) is omniscient. Speaker Eleanor Drage debunks this myth, offering a realistic understanding of what AI can and cannot do. From Descartes and Da Vinci to AI-powered hiring tools and the MET police’s event detection systems, she offers a broader and more accurate understanding of the opportunities and challenges we face with AI in 2024 and beyond.

Brave New World: An A-Z Of AI Today

Eleanor Drage offers an overview of how artificial intelligence (AI) is affecting your life and work right now, and debunks some common myths about AI. From Prometheus and human augmentation to task automation and social justice, she explores how AI is making us rethink our own humanity.
