September 24th Seminar
Collaborative Humanities Lab on Artificial Intelligence “Models-Context-Scale”

Suresh Venkatasubramanian (Professor of Data Science and Computer Science, Director of the Center for Technological Responsibility, Re-imagination, and Redesign) and Holly Case (Professor of History) will share perspectives from their new Collaborative Humanities Lab at the Cogut Institute for the Humanities, “Models-Context-Scale: AI and the Humanities.”

About the Lab:
“Models-Scale-Context,” three basic terms of everyday and scientific discourse, highlights assumptions and frameworks through which AI is imagined and implemented. Questioning what these terms mean across disciplines and technological practices is an invitation to explore the modes of thinking, being, and doing that have shaped AI and could shape its possible futures.

Data Matters is intended to stimulate conversations and collaboration by bringing multiple perspectives to challenging data-driven problems and talks are structured to be more of an interactive experience than traditional academic seminars. Data Matters includes scholars with backgrounds in the physical, biological, computational, and social sciences who share their perspectives on why data matters.
