Do you love research but don’t have the time to read endless papers and books? Get the latest research — and research insights — from the Institute for Policy, Ethics and Culture at Michigan Tech. Each month IPEC Presents focuses on policy engagement and teaching that addresses ethical and cultural challenges, implications, and strategies relevant to the emerging techno-cultural environment.
In our fourth episode of IPEC Presents, guests IPEC director Stefka Hristova and associate director Soonkwan Hong discuss how their research relationship has developed over time and spanned university service-related projects, publication collaborations, and research development. Taking a critical perspective on AI and algorithms, we dive deep into the power relations at play in today’s techno cultural environment. Join us for a riveting discussion and learn how, as a general AI user, we can better educate and protect ourselves when interacting with these black box technologies.
