AI and the (Re)Shaping of Intelligence

Invited lecture by Wendy Chun, Stephanie Dick & Matt Canute in the online Critical AI seminar series, which critically addresses Artificial Intelligence (AI) from various perspectives – across different contexts of application and through different lenses of critique.

Wendy Hui Kyong Chun is Simon Fraser University’s Canada 150 Research Chair in New Media, Professor in the School of Communication, and Director of the Digital Democracies Institute. At the Institute, she leads the Mellon-funded Data Fluencies Project, which combines the interpretative traditions of the arts and humanities with critical work in the data sciences to express, imagine, and create innovative engagements with (and resistances to) our data-filled world.

Stephanie Dick is an Assistant Professor in the School of Communication at Simon Fraser University. Her research and teaching are informed by her background in STS and History of Science, with a focus on computing, mathematics, and artificial intelligence since the Second World War.

Matt Canute is a postgraduate researcher in the School of Communication at Simon Fraser University, Canada.
