I had such a nice time today, discussing my work with members of the CAISR Health research profile at Halmstad University at a seminar on AI and ethics. These interdisciplinary and practice informed conversations are so invaluable and inspiring to me.

@racheldouglasjones That is great! It was exactly a collection like this that I was looking for. And yes, I should come by @tip_itu and have a closer look! Glad that several are available online also. Thank you so much.

I am looking for inspiration for the introductory chapter (in Swedish: Kappa) of my compilation thesis. Any recommendation for nice compilation PhD theses in STS, sociology, info studies or adjacent fields to have a look at?
Please send them my way!

I have a new article out in Big Data & Society

Standardization is promoted as a solution to achieve ethical AI. I attend to the tension between standardization and AI transparency. Overall, this article stresses the complexity of governing sociotechnical AI principles by standardization.

Okej, så att alla är med på det här: minskad konsumtion måste inte nås genom personliga uppoffringar baserad på moral.

Minskad konsumtion kan styras från politiken på en rad olika sätt. Exempelvis vad offentlig sektor väljer (t.ex. mindre kött i skolmatsalen) eller ransonering av drivmedel, förbud mot vissa flygresor, skatter, osv.

just ordered two articles from the 1960's from the library for my research and I just can't wait until I get them! love to the library. love digging into the origin stories of AI.

@stsing@assemblag.es @sts @stsing@a.gup.pe remember the stsing collab with the network against abuses of power in the sciences? They have now published 4 anonymized reports on abuses of power in #STS on their website. #WeDoSTS

The recent hypes (crypto and "AI") both have immense ecological impact. When using these tools one needs to be aware of the cost: For crypto that means to just kill it, for "AI" it means to be very conscious of the massive impact of testing and building these things.
