Not Just Checking Boxes: Thinking & Working Through Ethical Problems with Checklists
with Bri Watson, EDI Scholar-In-Residence at UBC Library
Over the past few decades, members of the public, students, professionals, and researchers have struggled to the dilemmas and conundrums originating from powerful new technologies, including artificial intelligence, Big Data, machine learning, just to name a few. Although these new technologies hold much potential, their creators and designers have—more often than not—been willingly overlook the often-detrimental and sometimes-devastating unintended consequences.
In this workshop, Bri Watson guides participants through the development and use of a checklist developed over the course of multiple years in consultation with the creators, developers, maintainers, sustainers, and affected individuals and communities.
When: Thursday, April 6 from 10:00 to 11:30am
