Queer theory offers valuable insights by shedding light on often overlooked perspectives\, particularly those at the margins\, and exposing the various power imbalances inherent in AI systems. Moreover\, it presents an opportunity to critically examine and challenge the fundamental principles underlying contemporary epistemologies of datafication and automation. By engaging with queer theory\, we can foster necessary discussions surrounding the potentials and limitations of data-driven technologies across diverse domains such as health\, well-being\, nature\, culture\, law\, media\, and communication. \nWe look forward to welcoming researchers and representatives from both private and public sectors to this online event taking place on October 2 over Zoom. Save the date in your calendar already now. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Program and Roundtables\nPlease note that the whole event takes place online via Zoom and is held in English. \n13.00 – 13.05 – IntroductionChristofer Edling\, Professor of Sociology and WASP-HS Program Director \n13.05 – 13.10 – Keynote IntroductionMatilda Tudor\, Researcher at the Department of Informatics and Media\, Uppsala UniversityKarin Danielsson\, Associate Professor at Department of Informatics and Director of Humlab at Umeå University \n13.10-13.50 – Keynote and Q&A  \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Keynote title: AI’s Anti-Queer Turn in the Philosophy of KnowledgeKeynote: Daniella Gati\,  Lecturer in Games & Interactive Media\, University of Salford\, Manchester\, UK.Keynote abstract: This keynote addresses the epistemology of AI\, that is\, the shift that AI is causing in how knowledge is understood and created.

We ask how queer perspectives\, both theoretical and lived\, can be used to push AI knowledge production in more equitable and just directions.  \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Power and TheoryChair: Ericka Johnson\, Professor of Gender Studies at Linköping UniversityWe can express our identity through our ways of being in the world\, which influences how people categorize us in different contexts—this makes identity performative. However\, these performances are shaped by constraints—power dynamics that define what is possible. Different contexts and power structures allow for different types of identity performances. How are performative identities and disciplining power structures interpreted by\, and shaped by\, AI? \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				LLMs\, Gender\, and UsChair: Hannah Devinney\, Postoc at the Department of Thematic Studies at Linköping UniversityGenerative AI\, such as ChatGPT\, have experienced a sharp rise in the past year\, opening conversations about – among other concerns – bias\, representation\, stereotyping\, and toxicity. These types of AI-systems are now being applied in a wide variety of context including chatbots\, internet search\, virtual assistants\, predictive text\, and wholesale text generation. How will these technologies impact the way we experience\, talk about\, and perform gender? What stereotypes do we risk (re)entrenching through the use of these AI-systems? Are there ways to leverage these tools to instead mitigate or counter patriarchy and cisnormativity? Who might benefit\, and at whose expense? The purpose of this roundtable is to discuss and explore the ways gender\, language\, and power meet within the context of generative AI. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				14.35-14.55 – Joint wrap up for discussionsMatilda Tudor\, Researcher at the Department of Informatics and Media\, Uppsala UniversityKarin Danielsson\, Associate Professor at Department of Informatics and Director of Humlab at Umeå University \n14.35 -14.55 – Closing remarksChristofer Edling\, Professor of Sociology and WASP-HS Program Director \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Registration\nThe registration is closed. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				More About WASP-HS Community Reference Meetings\nWASP-HS Community Reference Meetings serves as meeting places for the WASP-HS researchers and representatives from private and public organisations. Each meeting has a specially selected theme with the aim of bringing business and research together to expand knowledge and strengthen collaboration. After each Community Reference Meeting a report is published on the WASP-HS website based on the discussions held\, including suggestions for future steps on the topics. See previously published CRM reports.

SUMMARY:PhD Defense - Assemble Care // Align Data: An Ethnographic Study of Datafication in Swedish Public Care
DESCRIPTION:Petter Falk\, defends his doctoral thesis “Assemble Care // Align Data: An Ethnographic Study of Datafication in Swedish Public Care”\, at Karlstad University. \nAbstract\nYou sit in a quiet room at your local healthcare clinic. Tests are run\, assessments made\, and your data is woven into the threads of an electronic health record. Or perhaps you find yourself in the social care office\, where the social worker listens intently to your concerns\, gently nodding as your words are documented as data\, one keystroke at a time. Care is assembled as data is aligned. Today\, digital data has become a prerequisite for public care. Increasingly\, more aspects of who we are as care subjects and what public care does in its practices depend on data\, which also normalizes its production\, use and utilization. This process is called datafication. This study explores datafication within Swedish public care\, focusing on how data emerges and how it affects the subjects of care\, as well as the data that is produced\, processed\, and utilized in public care settings. The research employs an ethnographic approach\, rooted in the theoretical framework of assemblage as articulated by Deleuze and Guattari. By examining the practical and socio-technical dimensions of datafication\, the study uncovers how small\, seemingly inconsequential practices aggregate to influence broader ramifications for care subjects of Swedish public care\, and for public welfare in general. \nRead full thesis. \nSupervisor\nMikael Granberg\, Professor of Political Science\, Karlstad UniversityJohan Quist\, Associate Professor in Business Administration\, Karlstad University \nOpponent\nLina Dencik\, opponent\, Professor\, Goldsmiths\, University of London \nRead more about the defence.
