    Pretty chuffed to hear from the organisers that my "How not to use AI" preconference workshop helped set the tone of the following days, and that scholarly values and the benefits of slowing down were recurring conversation topics

    If your conference or grad school is looking for a workshop format that avoids the tired marketing cliches and productivity narratives around "AI", I'd be happy to do a rerun (time permitting) ideophone.org/how-not-to-use-a

    #workshop #CriticalAI

    The mirage of “AI” reaches us through a narrative centered on inevitability, productivity, and efficiency. It is therefore at loggerheads with the values of a healthy academia, which questions narratives of inevitability, prioritizes process over product, and realizes the value of friction for creativity. This workshop is for everyone who is bored about the typical AI sales pitch and interested in how to do the best science possible and build a better academia together. The workshop promotes a values-first rather than a tech-first perspective and articulates what you probably already suspected: it is perfectly okay not to use “AI”.
