DESCRIPTION:(Virtual/ Online Event with Professional Live Captions in Engli
 sh)\n\nPlease sign up on Eventbrite to receive the zoom link.\n	\n	Dr. Alex 
 Hanna will present Beyond Bias: Algorithmic Unfairness\, Infrastructure\, 
 and Genealogies of Data.\n\nProblems of algorithmic bias are often framed 
 in terms of lack of representative data or formal fairness optimization co
 nstraints to be applied to automated decision-making systems. However\, th
 ese discussions sidestep deeper issues with data used in AI\, including pr
 oblematic categorizations and the extractive logics of crowdwork and data 
 mining. In this talk\, I make two interventions: first by reframing of dat
 a as a form of infrastructure\, and as such\, implicating politics and pow
 er in the construction of datasets\; and secondly discussing the developme
 nt of a research program around the genealogy of datasets used in machine 
 learning and AI systems. These genealogies should be attentive to the cons
 tellation of organizations and stakeholders involved in their creation\, t
 he intent\, values\, and assumptions of their authors and curators\, and t
 he adoption of datasets by subsequent researchers.\n\nAlex Hanna is a soci
 ologist and senior research scientist working on the Ethical AI team at Go
 ogle. Before that\, she was an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Com
 munication\, Culture\, Information and Technology at the University of Tor
 onto. Her research centers on origins of the training data which form the 
 informational infrastructure of AI and algorithmic fairness frameworks\, a
 nd the way these datasets exacerbate racial\, gender\, and class inequalit
 y.\n\nThis event is part of the 4th Season of the Feminist and Accessible 
 Publishing and Communications Technologies Speaker and Workshop Series\, o
 rganized by Dr. Alex Ketchum. This event is co-sponsored by the Algorithmi
 c Media Observatory and Dr. Fenwick Mckelvey.\n	Our series was made possibl
 e thanks to our sponsors: SSHRC\, the Institute for Gender\, Sexuality\, a
 nd Feminist Studies (IGSF)\, the DIGS Lab\, Milieux\, Initiative for Indig
 enous Futures\, MILA\, and more (see our website!)\n\nThere is no fee requ
 ired to attend this event. We will provide captions in english. This event
  will be recorded and made available on our website after the event.\n
