TPM AI Lab luncheon: the new DAI Labs
14 december 2021 12:00 t/m 13:00 - Door: Webredactie | Zet in mijn agenda
We would like to invite you to the next TPM AI Lab Luncheon that will take place on Tuesday, December 14th, 12:00–13:00. During this event, we will present the newest DAI labs with TPM partners.
For this, we are excited to inform you that we will have guest speakers, Olya Kudina and Nazli Cila from AI DeMoS and Ben Wagner and Dave Murray-Rust from AI Futures Lab: Rights & Justice in Remote Work, who are willing to introduce their newly minted DAI labs during this session. The Luncheon will take place online and will provide the opportunity to catch up with each other and get more familiar with the two DAI-Labs. These descriptions can be found on the website.
We hope to be welcoming you during the TPM AI Lab Luncheon!
Meet our speakers!

AI DeMoS – AI as Deliberative Multimodal Systems - This DAI lab will focus on developing AI for democracy, explore how AI can help to find a way of being together amid multiple perspectives and how it can help to craft a space for public interaction and deliberation. AI can be considered as “demos”, one of the units in democratic societies, because it gives people a particular access to expressing themselves through the visual, written and spoken modes of activities (i.e., multimodal), such as by generating textual narratives, digital personas and dialogical interfaces. The questions regarding AI are then twofold: How does AI facilitate our practice of democracy and the way we understand it? And how can we facilitate the responsible design and use of AI systems for a meaningful democratic engagement? The DeMoS lab intends to contribute to the development of multimodal AI systems that would foster deliberation, critical engagement of citizens and enable them to take informed decisions under the conditions of deep uncertainty that these same AI developments bring forth. To achieve this, the researchers in the DeMoS lab will explore how synthetic media (e.g. deepfakes and GPT3) impact and can foster human interrelation and trust; how social media algorithms co-shape an ideal of and can contribute to being a good political subject that can thrive in plurality and critically engage with others; how voice assistants and chatbots impact and can improve the representation and inclusiveness; and how algorithmic systems in the city affect political deliberation and can enlarge the space for critical and informed engagement with AI systems that support our collective life.

AI Futures Lab: Rights & Justice in Remote Work - Artificial intelligence is increasingly widespread but poses a challenge for designers; as a material, it is complex, entangled, plural and indeterminate, changing over time. The harms that can result from poorly designed AI systems are both subtle and large scale, and the socio-legal contexts evolve in response to the actions of computational systems. This raises the challenges of developing new ways of working and flexible responses to a changing world while at the same time supporting human agency, human rights, wellbeing and justice.
The AI Futures lab will address this knowledge gap by combining IDE post-industrial design research and methodologies in machine ethnography, experiential AI and in the wild AI prototyping with the TPM methodologies of comprehensive engineering and design for values. We will explore configurations of people and AI around remote collaboration and distributed work, with the aim to expand both scientific knowledge and public understanding of AI capabilities. This will result in a tangible and vibrant set of prototypes, experiences and theories that map out ways in which design can be engaged to deploy artificial intelligence and machine learning in support of new ways of working. By prototyping new relationships WITH AI that are respectful of agency, rights and justice, we will open up spaces for new developments IN AI.
