Graduate Seminars on Artificial Intelligence and Social Justice
The Abeona-ENS-OBVIA Chair, held by Karine Gentelet, is organizing a series of three graduate seminars on artificial intelligence and social justice.
With the proliferation of artificial intelligence in our daily lives, the objective of these seminars is to bring together multidisciplinary graduate students and foster a dialogue surrounding the societal challenges we face.
Registration for all seminars before 30 March
Themes and calendar
The seminars will take place online via Zoom and will last 1h30. We’ve chosen a format which we hope will be as interactive and participatory as possible.
We are pleased to announce that the three themes that were voted for by the students who expressed interest, and their corresponding dates, are as follows:
- Human rights by, in and for design (English) – 11th March 2021
- Sovereignty, empowerment and technological activism (French) – 8 April 2021
- Technologies and marginalized groups: bias and social injustices (French) – 27 May 2021 (tbc)
The seminars will take place at 11am (Quebec) or 5pm (France).
