Dear colleagues,
The
Digital Humanities Research Hub at the School of Advanced Study, University of London is pleased to invite you to the second session of our virtual seminar series on
Representations of Artificial Intelligence: "On hallucinations, spark(l)ing intelligence and the apocalypse".
In the seminar, we scrutinize representations of "intelligent machines", and discuss how memes, literature, gender stereotypes, and colonial histories shape AI and the role it plays in today's
society. Conceived as a series of conversations, the seminar brings together experts from across the arts, humanities, and computational sciences to reflect on the social and cultural influences shaping the development of AI technologies. All are welcome!
