*Sound ON* Almost 2 weeks until #DigitalDesignWeekend! Resident artist Craig Scott @cslobotomy is showing his AI-enhanced acoustic guitar this Sept 20-22 at the V&A. More info @L_D_F & @V_and_A. [audio description: quirky guitar plucking]

Are you sitting comfortably? Ready for a storytelling experiment where soul-searching meets #chatgpt #ai? Then tune into our interview w @TommyMarshman on the #PatternsinPractice podcast lifeofdata.org/site/patterns-…

@Wonkhe @J_Kom_ Great insights from @J_Kom_ qning the "pervasive idea" that #datafication is "inherently valuable". Our study w @Jisc reveals similar trends wrt #learninganalytics > see bit.ly/pip-la-report

NEW on Wonkhe: For Janja Komljenovic, there is a clear mismatch between the sector’s hopes for technology and the reality of its implementation @J_Kom_ wonkhe.com/blogs/universi…

Congratulations to our #PatternsinPractice team member #hmtk on this huge achievement! 🥳

Meet the philosophers and the data robber. Some of the characters from my 3 animations: understanding; data; well-being that feature in the #ESRCfestival player.sheffield.ac.uk/exhibits/under…

➡️We've just released a cross-industry report with @diverse_ai that urgently calls for more #diversity and #accessibility built into #ai tools esp #languagemodels Take a look here: lifeofdata.org/site/patterns-…

Why do current state-of-art language models only cover a handful of the world's 7000 languages, and what can we do about it? 🌎🌍🌏⁉️ Our latest primer explores this “language gap” in AI and offers policy & governance considerations to address it 📄✅ cohere.com/research/paper…

🔎 73% organisations use generative AI tools without any formal policies or guidelines in place Concerns were raised around privacy, accuracy and bias, alongside ethical dilemmas 47% of organisations use Gen-AI tools to save labour costs

In recent workshops with expert #chemists @gsk we explored the challenge of getting the right kind of data to the right people. More insights on #machinelearning & #ai in the #pharmaceutical industry are avail in our report (quoted above) lifeofdata.org/site/patterns-…

@WeandAI We would love to learn more about the speakers' takes on public perceptions and how perceptions potentially link with practice and policy; attitudes and values towards AI are the core focus of our research at Patterns in Practice. Is there a recording of this panel?

First up in our Deepfakes Deepdive starting soon: a fascinating panel exploring what influences public perception, policy and economic dynamics related to #deepfakes. Tickets are on bit.ly/4ckuO7C. Then onto some more presentations, interviews and an interactive game!

@GrettaLouw @elluba That sounds like a fascinating conversation @GrettaLouw and @elluba -- we'd love to know more!

@PRSD @TommyMarshman @chaptertweets Definitely go! @TommyMarshman is certainly electric and absorbing in this podcast episode about identity and #ai lifeofdata.org/site/patterns-…

Section 28 and Me by the electric and absorbing @TommyMarshman is in Cardiff | @chaptertweets 🎟️chapter.org/whats-on/tom-m… Why you should go... theprsd.co.uk/2024/06/22/sec…

Such an important question! Our report on #ai tools & #learninganalytics in universities may be of interest lifeofdata.org/site/patterns-…

🚨🎙️🎙️🎙️🚨 Listen to the latest episode of 'Cultures Of AI'. We talk to @TommyMarshman about working with AI in a dramatic setting, telling unruly personal stories in an AI era and the recent Adult Company workshop series he convened with @BristolOldVic lifeofdata.org/site/patterns-…

Participants will be compensated for their time, to a value of £60. We might need to make a selection depending on the responses we receive.

Whilst the dialogue is open to all geographic locations, we are also keen to attract practitioners working in geographic locations outside of Western Europe and North America.

Join Patterns in Practice and @diverse_ai for our dialogue event: Developing Critical AI Cultures, part of @turinginst AI UK Fringe 2024 #AIUK The event will be captioned and have British Sign Language. When: Wednesday 13th March, 15:00 - 16:00, GMT lifeofdata.org/site/patterns-…
