The main source comes from the training datasets\, which are too large and expensive to check thoroughly. In this open studio\, Francesca Lucchini will explore how we can leverage the bias in LLMs and use them to examine massive datasets\, discovering starting points for a data audit. \nAbout the speaker: Francesca Lucchini Wortzman is a Tech Lead at CENIA\, the National Artificial Intelligence Research Center. She has a computer science and masters degree from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile\, she specializes in machine learning applications related to urban analysis and computer vision.

As a result\, thousands (and counting) of the country’s most financially vulnerable have been mistakenly excluded from receiving their grant payment. This open studio unpacks the case study\, explaining what went wrong and reflecting on a more productive use of AI. It concludes that while AI may be most alluring in the resource-constrained realities of developing countries\, it is precisely in such contexts that it poses the greatest threat. \nAbout the speaker: Jamie Fuller is a junior researcher at Research ICT Africa\, a Cape Town – based think tank committed to enabling universal and meaningful digital access across the continent. She holds a Masters degree in Philosophy and is especially passionate about everyday ethical dilemmas\, including those associated with advanced data-driven technologies.\n \nJoin the Open Studio by joining the AI Equality Community on Circle!  URL:https://aplusalliance.org/event/open-studio-much-distress-and-little-relief-jamie-fuller/ CATEGORIES:Eventos virtuales ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://aplusalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/AIEQ-OPEN-STUDIO_02-6.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Helsinki:20241112T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Helsinki:20241112T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T183725 CREATED:20240909T105930Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240909T105930Z UID:24519-1731427200-1731430800@aplusalliance.org SUMMARY:Open Studio: AI & Health\, thinking through maintenance\, repair and response-ability | Amina Soulimani DESCRIPTION:This open studio will focus on exploring the multiple ways through which we can understand the entanglement of repair and maintenance with visionary aspirations around smart hospitals. By revisiting earlier and contemporary Feminist STS texts\, new materialism\, phenomenology and leaning on insights from the field\, Amina will share insights emerging from her ongoing PhD research. Presenting Morocco as a case study\, this talk shall explore further the dimensions that waiting takes in environments that run through foreign software in local hospitals. \nAbout Amina Soulimani: Amina Soulimani’s research investigates human-technology interactions in oncology care\, and algorithmic infrastructures within hospitals in Morocco. Her work is guided primarily through interdisciplinary practice\, decolonial scholarship\, and critical realism when dreaming about dignified care futures.

This evaluation examines its development through Data Feminism principles\, highlighting how it challenges power structures\, prioritizes survivor needs\, and integrates emotion into technology design. Despite challenges such as limited resources and inclusion gaps\, Sof+IA centers survivors’ experiences and promotes pluralism. Continuous reflection and evaluation are essential for integrating feminist principles into AI development. \nAbout Daniela MoyanoDaniela Moyano is an information designer and data visualization expert with a focus on gender data and feminist perspectives. With a B.A. in Design and an M.S.C. in Sociology\, she has co-founded ODEGI\, an observatory promoting critical gender data use.

In this Open-Studio Session\, Emma will provide an overview over her PhD research\, including (1) why we have to involve affected communities during the development of AI systems\, (2) the differences between such stakeholder involvement for responsible AI efforts vs the type of stakeholder involvement currently happening in practice\, (3) the steps required for stakeholder involvement ensuring more responsible systems\, as well as (4) contexts with potential exceptions to such rules. \n  \nAbout Emma Kallina:  Emma Kallina believes that the people impacted by a technology should have substantial influence during the development of such technology. To push this forward\, her research (third-year PhD student at the University of Cambridge) focuses on how the involvement of affected communities during the development of AI systems can support the development of more responsible systems in practice. Her background is in Psychology\, Human-Computer Interaction\, and UX Research. She is a visiting researcher / fellow at the Institute for Technology & Humanity and the Alan Turing Institute. \n  \nJoin the Open Studio by joining the AI Equality Community on Circle!  URL:https://aplusalliance.org/event/understanding-stakeholder-involvement-for-responsible-ai-development-in-practice/ CATEGORIES:Eventos virtuales ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://aplusalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/AIEQ-OPEN-STUDIO_02-3.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20240625T160000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20240625T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T183725 CREATED:20240507T091355Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240607T101441Z UID:23828-1719331200-1719334800@aplusalliance.org SUMMARY:fa+ir | Wrap up Webinar DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, we will be wrapping up the FR Feminist AI Research Network of projects with the various members of our cohorts sharing on the journey of bringing their research to life.

The review highlighted a lack of assessment and educational tools tailored to SMEs\, as well as the importance of involving SMEs in discussions and designs related to responsible AI. \nTo address these findings\, the research team employed a participatory design approach to develop a tool that supports SMEs in their responsible AI adoption journey. The tool is built upon the framework provided by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) for responsible AI adoption\, as well as the guidelines outlined in the European Union’s AI Act. \nBy incorporating the OECD framework and the EU AI Act guidelines\, the developed tool provides SMEs with a structured and comprehensive approach to assessing their AI adoption practices in terms of responsibility. This includes evaluating aspects such as transparency\, fairness\, bias\, the environmental impact and ethical considerations in AI systems.

These challenges include societal barriers and individual barriers. The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents transformative opportunities for the justice system\, especially in improving access to justice and ensuring fairness for women. AI has the potential to revolutionize legal proceedings by analyzing complex data\, streamlining case processing\, and providing predictive insights. However\, integrating AI into the justice system also brings significant risks. Concerns such as algorithmic bias could exacerbate existing inequalities\, impeding equitable access to justice. The central argument of this talk is the critical need for Responsible AI in the development and application of AI technologies in these regions. Responsible AI is essential for maintaining fairness\, transparency\, and accountability\, particularly in AI applications within the justice sector. This approach is crucial to ensure that AI tools not only enhance access to justice for women but also uphold and support their rights.
