Who said only military officers can deal with uncertainty? On the importance of uncertainty in edtech data visualisations AI-powered predictive systems have high margins of error. However, data visualisations of algorithmic systems in education and other social fields tend to visualise certainty, thus invisibilising t...

Can uncertainty be visualised in educational data dashboards, if so, how and with what (pedagogical, social) implications? With @julianejarke.bsky.social, we found no uncertainty #dataviz in #edtech (no surprise), but examples in other fields (hence the title!)

Am Abend vor der Wahl dreht der Protofaschist und Antidemokrat #Merz vollkommen durch und beleidigt alle linken, sie hätten nicht mehr alle Tassen IM SCHRANK. 😳😳 Das ist unfassbar und eine skandalöse Entgleisung.
Das ist Trumpismus, dem zeigen wir es jetzt richtig, auf die Barrikaden! ✊🏼

We'll also be hosting a panel (with Andreas Bischof Daniel López Gómez and Dagmar Lorenz-Meyer) on futures-making and ageing at the STS Graz conference (5th to 7th May 2025). If you are interested in joining us, the CfP is open until 31st January! stsconf.tugraz.at/calls/call-f...

We draw on data from a series of design fiction workshops with older adults, civil society organisations and civil servants in Germany, Austria and the UK.

Central is the question of whether and how we can actually think (and imagine) outside of powerful anticipation regimes around the increasing spread and relevance of data-driven systems and/or ageist assumptions about how to ‘fix’ the problem of demographic ageing.

With the paper we join others in their call to resist and challenge regimes of anticipations that suggest our futures are inevitably linked to certain imaginaries about data-driven systems. We explore how we might open up futures-making to different people in relation to futures of ageing.

Today is publication day for the new book - Critical Data Studies. But since my copies are stuck in Holyhead parcel pileup & open access version not yet available on publisher website I'm saving marketing stuff to new year. As a launch day it's a bit of an anti-climax! But it's no longer 'in press'

For the first time, ​Space Crone brings together celebrated author Ursula K. Le Guin’s writings on feminism and gender.

Amid cuts to basic research, New Zealand scraps all support for social sciences Scientists shocked as “blue-sky” Marsden Fund has half its budget shifted to research focused on helping economy

Earlier this month NZ’s “center-right coalition gov’t said it would divert half of the NZ$75 million Marsden Fund, the nation’s sole funding source for fundamental science, to ‘research with economic benefits.’ Moreover, the fund would no longer support any social sciences and humanities research” 😢

@mereln.bsky.social and I are hiring a PhD! tiu.nu/22585. Come work with us at TILT on reconfiguring AI governance to be more public-facing, more responsive and more reflective of lived experiences.

To what extent can public datasets address questions related to urgent issues? We're exploring this with "datatesting" a new @digitalgoodnet.bsky.social project with @databarometer.bsky.social @silvanavf.bsky.social @esimperl.bsky.social @odihq.bsky.social & more! jonathangray.org/2024/11/05/d...

Hi, so I've spent the past almost-decade studying research uses of public social media data, like e.g. ML researchers using content from Twitter, Reddit, and Mastodon.

Anyway, buckle up this is about to be a VERY long thread with lots of thoughts and links to papers. 🧵

Re-sharing this to tag Critical Data/AI colleagues who I’d love to see do their own regional starter packs. @ubisurv.net already made one, @spdesouza.bsky.social @azadehakbari.bsky.social @derechosdigitales.bsky.social @fleurjohns.bsky.social?

Not sure anyone can handle even more horrible AI in academia but as a T&F journal editor I am appalled to inform you of "Paperpal", allegedly "Trained on millions of published scholarly articles." 1/2

reads: The Ways AI Decides How Low-Income People Work, Live, Learn, and Survive The use of artificial intelligence, or AI, by governments, landlords, employers, and other powerful private interests restricts the opportunities of low-income people in every basic aspect of life: at home, at work, in school, at government offices, and within families. AI technologies derive from a lineage of automation and algorithms that have been in use for decades with established patterns of harm to low-income communities. As such, now is a critical moment to take stock and correct course before AI of any level of technical sophistication becomes entrenched as a legitimate way to make key decisions about the people society marginalizes. Employing a broad definition of AI, this report represents the first known effort to comprehensively explain and quantify the reach of AI-based decision-making among low-income people in the United States. It establishes that essentially all 92 million low-income people in the U.S. states—everyone whose income is less than 200 percent of the federal poverty line—have some basic aspect of their lives decided by AI.
