Gender and the Machine: Trans Tech, Emotion and AI

  • The Data Lab 29 Buccleuch Place Edinburgh, Scotland, EH8 9LN United Kingdom (map)

Join AI Ethics & Society for this afternoon of events discussing gender, marginalisation and emotion in AI and digital technologies

What are trans technologies, and how are they shaped by the political economy of tech? How is emotion AI being used to shape the workplace, and whose perspectives are represented within these technologies?

Join us for this afternoon of events tackling entanglements of gender, marginalisation and emotion across tech and AI, from design to their impact on work, health and everyday life.

Gender and the Machine features Dr. Oliver Haimson (University of Michigan, author of Trans Technologies), Dr. Nazanin Andalibi (University of Michigan, critical scholar of emotional AI) and Alice Ross (University of Edinburgh, Doctoral Researcher). The event concludes with a networking reception where the audience can chat with the speakers and meet others interested in this work.
