Computer Science Department & ART-AI ED&I Seminar
We are pleased to have Andrea Aler Tubella, a senior research engineer at Umeå University, join us for this joint Computer Science Department & ART-AI ED&I Seminar entitled ‘Queer AI on AI’. This will take place online on Teams on Monday 22nd January 2024, 14.15-16:05pm (GMT) For joining instructions please e-mail [email protected].
Title
Queer AI on AI
Abstract
In this talk, we will discuss recent work studying the challenges of privacy, bias and fairness in the context of facial analysis systems (FA). Exploring images for the purposes of face detection, recognition and/or classification, FA shows an entanglement between human identity, self-presentation and computation. It is therefore a key example to highlight the current challenges with labelling, data collection and representation when it comes to contextual, sensitive and evolving information. Further, we discuss potential improvements, for example, by using participatory design and a queer perspective on FA.
