Seminar: Automating Everyday Life
Automating everyday life
As everyday life has been digitalised, more and more of the things we do, like and consume are being automated. Life under the data gaze means predictive analytics drive social, political and cultural practices, sometimes in ways that are beyond our ken. This has implications for how humans live and make choices; how notions of creativity, authenticity and autonomy are challenged; and how existing inequalities are automated and exacerbated. This seminar will present cutting edge research about these developments, how they work and how we need to think about their implications.
Speakers:
- Nicholas Carah (UQ) and Lauren Hayden (UQ)
- Joel Stern (RMIT)
- Thao Phan (ANU) and Fabian Offert (University of California)
