Description

Featured in the NAC Week and part of the Girls in Sc(AI)ence seminar series. This seminar invites participants to critically reflect on the role of robots in contemporary society and their possible futures. 

Speaker Bios

Iolanda Leite is an Associate Professor at the Division of Robotics, Perception and Learning at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Her research focuses on developing robots that can capture, learn from, and respond appropriately to the subtle dynamics that characterize real-world situations, allowing for truly efficient and engaging interactions with people

Katie Winkle is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Information Technology, Uppsala University, where she is part of the Vi3 division and the Human–Machine Interaction group. Her research explores socially responsible and participatory approaches to human–robot interaction at the individual level as well as at the family, group, community and societal levels. 

Registration

To participate is free of charge. Registration for online lecture.

About the workshop series

While feminist approaches to technoscience are getting increasing attention, fields such as Artificial Intelligence, Human-Robot Interaction and Human-Computer Interaction are still male-dominated. Similarly, new technologies, from assistive robots to chatbots, are often imbued with the same intrinsic gender and ethnic stereotypes and biases present in our Western society. An increasing number of scholars have thus called for a feminist reboot, praising more ethical, sustainable and inclusive research practices and epistemologies in the hope of better technology. Our workshop series "Girls just want to have Sc(AI)ence" aims to foster knowledge and discussions on critical and feminist approaches to technology by engaging scholars working with AI from a variety of disciplines -from data science to art, political studies and philosophy, and invite them to reflect and imagine together how to use tools and theories from critical and feminist studies to implement more thcial, sustainable and inclusive technology-related practices and research.
