When computer scientists, philosophers, medical researchers, and legal scholars use words like "learning," "intelligence," and "autonomy," do they mean the same thing? Join us for an international symposium exploring how disciplinary and cultural differences in AI terminology are shaping how artificial intelligence is understood, engaged and developed. This symposium will address the challenges that language and translation (both conceptual and linguistic) pose to collaboration on AI research. It is part of "Reading Between the Lines: An Interdisciplinary Glossary for Human-Centered AI (https://humanities.uconn.edu/initiatives/ai-and-the-human/reading-between-the-lines/)," a project is funded by The Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes' Human Craft in the Age of Digital Technologies Initiative. Schedule: 9:15am Coffee and Welcome9:45-10:00am Introcutions10:05-11:30am Panel 1: CareHow might we define how "care" functions via artificial intelligence? What are the challenges and opportunities for integrating vulnerable patient voices in healthcare? How is AI changing how we care for one another as AI companions and therapists become more common?11:30am-12:15pm Lunch and Networking12:15-2:00pm Panel 2: LiteracyWhat does it mean to be "literate" in AI? This panel will bring together educators, historians, and literary experts to ask how the rise of AI literacy evokes comparisons to past transformations in literacy, and concomitant expansions of democratic and economic participation. What do we risk if we restrict literacy to an elite few? What skill sets are required to make us truly AI literate?2:00-2:15pm Coffee Break2:15-4:00pm Panel 3: Rights (to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness?)How will AI transform property rights, labor rights and human rights? How does language shape this process?4:00-4:30pm Reception

What is a Research Presentation? Simple, it is an oral presentation that displays your research. The problem is that you have spent all of your time thinking and expressing your research in a medium other than the oral form of communication. Although the underlying ideas you wish to convey are largely the same, the medium in which you are now asked to express them is profoundly different. The primary challenge in crafting a research talk, then, is this: How do I translate my research from one mode of communication to another? This is precisely the question this workshop seeks to answer, and it does so by drawing on storytelling as the central translating device. This workshop is designed to offer you, first and foremost, a general framework on how to think about the research presentation as storytelling. Our journey will take us through such questions as: What is storytelling? What makes storytelling so compelling? How can it be used in the context of research presentations? Alongside answering these deeper questions, the workshop will also walk through a portion of an actual presentation to demonstrate the principles of storytelling when applied to research. On the second day, participants will be afforded the opportunity to start crafting their own research presentation in the form of storytelling. While this workshop is primarily geared toward participants who work on their research projects, it can also benefit those who want to learn more about storytelling and hone their presentation and oral communication skills. Please note that while you can attend Day 1 of the workshop without attending Day 2. You will need to attend Day 1 if you plan on attending Day 2.
