Southampton Institute for Arts and Humanities (SIAH) is delighted to welcome Professor Kate Crawford for an In-Conversation discussion with Ryan Bishop, Professor of Graphic Arts, and Sunil Manghani, Professor of Theory, Practice and Critique, at Winchester School of Art on Thursday 29 June at 15:00 (online).

Speaker Biography
Professor Kate Crawford is a leading international scholar of the social implications of artificial intelligence. She is a Research Professor at USC Annenberg in Los Angeles, a Senior Principal Researcher at MSR in New York, an Honorary Professor at the University of Sydney, and the inaugural Visiting Chair for AI and Justice at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris.
Kate Crawford will discuss her book, Atlas of AI (Yale University Press. 2021), and forward-going research. Her book is a timely, critical and comprehensive analysis of how recent AI technologies have been developed, starting from the material reality of mining sites, factories, and vast data collections. Ranging across various considerations and concerns, the dialogue with Kate Crawford will be an opportunity to explore how the global networks underpinning AI technology are damaging the environment, entrenching inequality, and fuelling a shift toward undemocratic governance.
