SUMMARY:SICSA October Education Seminar: Gen AI's impact on assessment design - Are we in Lane?
DESCRIPTION:For our October Education Seminar\, Jack Hogan\, Lecturer in Academic Practice and Kerith George-Briant\, Manager for the Learner Development Service\, both from Abertay University will explore how GenAI is being integrated into disciplinary assessments. They will draw on 8 semi-structured interviews with academic staff. These interviews revealed a complex interplay of student needs\, stakeholder expectations\, and disciplinary definitions of criticality and the development of AI tools are all influencing decisions around GenAI use. \nFind out more and register for this event.

SUMMARY:LOCOS Seminar - Decomputing
DESCRIPTION:The next LOCOS Seminar will take place next week with guest speaker Dan Mcquillan\, Senior Lecturer in Critical AI at Goldsmith’s\, University of London. \nTitle: Decomputing \nAbstract: \n“This talk will attempt to extend the idea of low carbon computing by calling for collective decision-making around the development and deployment of computational technologies. While progress can be made on both energy demands and embodied carbon\, these are currently swamped by the accelerationist effects of technologies such as AI. Not only is our current political-economy unsustainable\, as the IPCC points out\, but the attempt to fix it through a fusion of AI and increased authoritarianism are only making things worse. \nThe talk will propose the concept of ‘decomputing’ as a socio-technical response to this situation. Decomputing positions computing as first and foremost a matter of care; that is\, as a practice that should pay attention to impact of technology on human and non-human relations. It draws on degrowth and deautomisation as ways to repair our environmental and democratic deficits\, and proposes tools such as the Matrix of Convivial Technology (MCT) as means by which to transform the role of computation in society. While warning of the dangers latent in concepts like abstraction and efficiency\, this talk will highlight the links between low carbon computing and the construction of alternative and more hopeful futures” \nJoin online
