With the increasing impacts of artificial intelligence (AI), various issues surrounding AI have become issues of public interest. But what is AI? Is the way we talk about AI a suitable reflection of its nature? How do the portrayals of AI shape our perception of it? Drawing on philosophical frameworks and empirical studies, this talk reflects on the dominant narratives surrounding AI and examines how they influence the public perception of AI. I argue that the dominant narratives about AI often overlook its materiality, including the hidden labor and environmental impacts. As a result, such a narrative fuels skewed priorities of the risks of AI, overly promotes techno-centric responses, and supports unjustified power concentration. Based on these critical reflections, this talk urges collective efforts to be taken in reimagining and shaping the narratives about AI.  This is an Honors Event.

About this Event What can we learn from the history of eugenics about the risks and the ethical application of AI in medicine and public health today? How are eugenic practices of the past shaping the algorithms and extending the legacies of those practices into the present? Dr. Craig Spencer will discuss historical determinants of public health and medicine in the AI age and ask whether we are seeing the normalization of eugenics 2.0.   About the SpeakerCraig Spencer (https://pandemics.sph.brown.edu/people/craig-spencer-md-mph), MD, MPH is an emergency medicine physician and Associate Professor of the Practice at Brown University School of Public Health. With nearly two decades of experience in global health and humanitarian response, he has worked on critical public health issues across Africa, Southeast Asia, and beyond, including leading the epidemiological response and treating patients during the West African Ebola outbreak.
