SUMMARY:AI and The Paradox of Agency
DESCRIPTION:Who holds the power when AI enters our lives? AI and the Paradox of Agency is curated by  Sarah Cook\, WASP-HS Guest Professor\, and Museum Director Katarina Pierre\, and features new commissions by international artists\, from interactive games and immersive installations to sculptures and a drone-read hand-painted textile. \nThe exhibition is open between 13 March\, 2026 and 17 January 2027. \nArtists: boredomresearch\, Tega Brain\, Dennis Delgado\, Linda Dounia Rebeiz\, Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg\, Nicolas Gourault\, Zeno Gries\, Lawrence Lek\, Rachel Maclean\, Stephen Marche\, Lauren Lee McCarthy\, Florian Model\, Yuri Pattison\, Planetary Portals\, Raqs Media Collective\, Daniel Shanken\, Caroline Sinders & Romy Gad el Rab\, Paola Torres Núñez del Prado\, and Addie Wagenknecht. Curators: Sarah Cook and Katarina Pierre. \nAI and the Paradox of Agency is produced by Bildmuseet at Umeå University with support from the Jacob Wallenberg Foundation and WASP-HS (Wallenberg AI\, Autonomous Systems and Software Program – Humanity and Society). \n			\n				Read more

SUMMARY:Workshop: The Politics of Models – Bias\, Representation & Transparency in Generative Models
DESCRIPTION:Generative models can capture an abstract representation of various modalities such as sound\, images\, video\, text\, and data. These models are now globally utilized for knowledge and content organization and synthesis. The generative AI models are integrated rapidly into research\, industry\, culture\, and the public sectors; where the accelerated growth hinders the considerations into societal implications of these rapid advancements. These models are new forms of knowledge representation\, in which the technical choices such as applied ontology or categorizations as well as the data sources and gathering processes\, influence\, imply\, and afford new forms of power and control on representation\, history\, culture\, and knowledge associations. Addressing these issues requires both technical advancement and research as well as societal grounding\, awareness in positionality\, and critical engagements. This workshop creates a shared space for WASP and WASP-HS researchers with the goal to build interdisciplinary research directions to influence a better and healthier societal integration of generative AI. \nTopics\nRepresentation & BiasAnalysis of representation and bias in generative models across modalities – sound\, images\, video\, text\, and data. \nPower & ControlUnderstanding the new forms of power and control enabled through generative AI over representation\, history\, and culture. \nTransparency & AccountabilityBuilding frameworks for transparent and accountable deployment of generative models in research and society. \nSocietal AlignmentAligning technical solutions with societal expectations\, needs\, and values for a healthier integration of AI. \n \nSchedule\n\n\nAugust 25: Arrival & Opening\nWelcome lunch\, introductory sessions\, and evening reception at Rånäs Slott. From lunch onwards \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAugust 26: Full Day of Sessions\nKeynotes\, interdisciplinary panels\, collaborative workshops\, and research discussions. Full day \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAugust 27: Closing & Departure\nFinal sessions\, synthesis of ideas\, future directions\, and farewell lunch. Ends with lunch  \n \nExpression of interest\nApply by April 17 to secure your spot. This workshop is open to researchers from both WASP and WASP-HS communities interested in the intersection of generative AI and societal implications. \nSpots are limited to 20 participants so make sure to fill in the Expression of Interest-form to get a chance to attend.
