Hosted by the Bristol Digital Futures Institute (BDFI)
Taking on the example of neural networks for emotion recognition, what it would take to develop adequate sociotechnical methods to design ethics into these new technologies? With potential uses for emotion recognition in a range of public spaces such as airports and more intimate settings such as hospitals what can we do to develop methods to achieve more inclusive, sustainable and prosperous futures?
Professor Daniel Neyland joined Professor Dimtra Simeonidou as academic Co-Director of BDFI in January this year. His specialisms are in issues of accountability, responsibility and values in science, technology and organisation. Using ethnographic methodologies, Daniel has studied a vast array of topics, including algorithms; security and surveillance; traffic management, airports and speeding drivers; waste; biometrics and even malaria vaccines.
This is a hybrid event with the opportunity to join online. Refreshments, networking and tour opportunities will be available to in-person attendees after the lecture.
