Suchman is a leading expert on the automation of war, having testified at the United Nations, as well as a SIGCHI Lifetime Achievement Award winner, former president of the Society for Social Studies of Science, and a member of the Advisory Board of AI Now. Keynote abstract: Growing US investments in data analytics are sustained by ongoing declarations of insecurity, framed as terror abroad and illegal immigration at home. These algorithmic systems, often mystified as "AI", detect correlations within very large datasets and promise to identify persons and activities that pose a threat to the US homeland. The promotion of data analytics is accompanied by widespread calls for data accountability, typically framed within the rubric of AI ethics. This talk takes the case of threat identification as emblematic, and proposes that we go beyond ethical principles to examine the technopolitics of data analysis and to reveal a wider terrain of rights and harm.This AI-focused event launches our cross-border conference, Counter-technologies at the Edgelands (February 28 &amp; 29, 2020) to be held in San Diego and Tijuana.

IA en Tierras Limítrofes: La Analítica de Datos en Estados de In/Seguridad La conferencia magistral será impartida por Dr. <a href="https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/sociology/people/lucy-suchman" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Lucy Suchman</a>, experto líder en automatización de guerra, Profesor de Antropología de la Ciencia y la Tecnología en la Universidad de Lancaster en el Reino Unido, así como ganador del premio Lifetime Achievement de SIGCHI, ex-presidente de la Sociedad de Estudios Sociales de la Ciencia y miembro de la Consejo Asesor de AI Now/NYU. Después de la conferencia un panel de discusión y preguntas y respuestas con Graciela Zamudio de Alma Migrante, Paul Khalid Alexander de Pillars of the Community, y Tina Givens de Rideshare Drivers United discutirán cómo estas tecnologías impactan la vida de las comunidades fronterizas.El incremento de la inversión de los EEUU en analítica de datos está sostenido por continuas declaraciones de inseguridad, enmarcada en términos de terrorismo externo e inmigración ilegal. Estos sistemas algorítmicos, mistificados comúnmente como Inteligencia Artificial, detectan correlaciones entre enormes bases de datos y prometen identificar personas y actividades que constituyen una amenaza a los EEUU. La promoción de esta analítica de datos está acompañada de peticiones continuas sobre responsabilidad de datos, bajo la rúbrica de ética de IA. Esta conferencia considera el caso de la identificación de amenazas como emblemático, y propone que vayamos más allá de los principios éticos para examinar las tecnopoliticas del análisis de datos, revelando así un terreno más amplio tanto de derechos como de daños.Esta conferencia sobre Inteligencia Artificial inaugura nuestra conferencia transfronteriza “Contratecnologías en tierras limítrofes," que tendrá lugar en San Diego y Tijuana (Febrero 28 y 29, 2020).
