SUMMARY:Emergent Technologies – Human and Non-Human Relationships
DESCRIPTION:Digital Life Institute’s AI Implications Cluster presents Emergent Technologies – Human and Non-Human Relationships. \nAndrew Iliadis presents How ‘facts’ are ‘fed’ to a virtual assistant. \nMedia technologies now provide facts and ‘knowledge’ directly to people. Search engines\, apps and virtual assistants increasingly articulate their own answers rather than directing people to lists of other sources. Semantic media are about this emerging era of meaning-making technologies (metadata\, web schemas\, ontologies\, knowledge graphs) and how companies like Apple\, Google\, Facebook\, Amazon\, and Microsoft organize information in new media products that seek to intuitively grasp what people want to know and the actions they want to take. This talk describes some of the insidious technological ways that organizations achieve this\, addresses the changing contexts of internet searches\, and examines the social and political consequences of what happens when large companies become primary sources of information. \nDr. Andrew Iliadis is an Assistant Professor at Temple University in the Department of Media Studies and Production (within the Lew Klein College of Media and Communication) and serves on the faculties of the Media and Communication Doctoral Program\, Cultural Analytics Graduate Certificate Program\, and Science\, Technology\, and Society Network. He also sits on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Responsible Technology and the Executive Editorial Board of the journal Philosophy & Technology. Dr. Iliadis’ work focuses on the social implications of data science with specific interests in semantic computing (things like metadata\, web schemas\, knowledge graphs\, applied ontologies) and embodied computing (things like wearables\, embeddables\, ingestibles\, implantables). He conducts interviews with engineers and users\, archival research\, and comparative analyses of digital tools and methods for data sharing. His book\, Semantic Media: Mapping Meaning on the Internet\, will be released in November 2022 with Polity Press. \nAnnette Masterson presents Designing for love or sex: Understanding a sex robot creator’s vision. \nIn 2018\, one of the first sex robots was released by Matt McMullen and his company\, RealDoll. With artificial intelligence capabilities\, robot models are meant to support and converse with users. An analysis of 38 publicity interviews with McMullen found a tendency to emphasize the companionship of sex robots while envisioning a future where integration is normalized\, sexual utilities are downplayed\, and a sentient robot is possible. As the creator\, McMullen’s vision could shape future designs and an understanding of the emerging technology. Further implications rest on the interplay of sexual desire and deviance reflected in current legislation. \nAnnette Masterson is a doctoral student in the Media and Communication program at Temple University. Her research centers on sexualized and romanticized content\, and the intersection of technology and entertainment. She currently analyzes the structure and advertising of humanoid sex robots. Previously at Hearts & Science\, a global marketing agency\, she coordinated with Warner Bros. theatrical domestic marketing departments in Los Angeles on campaigns such as Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald and Crazy Rich Asians. She holds an MA in Media Studies from the Newhouse School at Syracuse University\, and a BA from Juniata College. \nHosted by Isabel Pedersen\, Ontario Tech University. Director\, Digital Life Institute. \nModerated by Steven Downing\, Ontario Tech University. Associate Professor\, Criminology. \n  \nPlease email info@digitallife.org to receive an invitation.

SUMMARY:Embodied Computing: Wearables\, Implantables\, Embeddables\, Ingestibles
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Iliadis discusses his book. Body-centered computing now goes beyond the “wearable” to encompass implants\, bionic technology and ingestible sensors—technologies that point to hybrid bodies and blurred boundaries between human\, computer and artificial intelligence platforms. Such technologies promise to reconfigure the relationship between bodies and their environment\, enabling new kinds of physiological interfacing\, embodiment and productivity. Using the term embodied computing to describe these devices\, this book talk describes a long-term computational project to track the embodied computing industry and describes essays by practitioners and scholars from a variety of disciplines that explore the accompanying ethical\, social and conceptual issues.

SUMMARY:Social Impact of Emergent Embodied Computing
DESCRIPTION:Isabel Pedersen will be presenting as part of the BALL Lecture Series. More and more\, personal digital devices—from wearable brain-computers to digital skin tech to implanted computer chips—are being invented\, adopted and even celebrated before we have a chance to understand their likely impact on our lives. The rise of Artificial Intelligence is accelerating this process. Pedersen explores how immersive embodied technology may change how we act\, interact with others\, participate in cultures\, and understand our identities.

SUMMARY:4S (Society for Social Studies of Science) Annual Meeting in Toronto
DESCRIPTION:4S2021 will be a virtual conference supplemented by a toolkit so that people can organize regional get togethers and co-watching events if it is possible in their location. \nIsabel Pedersen\, Ann Hill Duin\, and Andrew Iliadis will present The AR Cloud: Tech Imaginaries\, Future Risks\, and Potential Affordances: After undergoing 20 years of emergence\, Augmented Reality (AR) is predicted to progress to become a full-scale ambient platform. AR is a method of human-computer interaction that blends virtual representations with physical spaces\, seeking to augment\, mix\, or shift reality (Azuma\, 1997). This presentation uses a digital repository of artifacts about this technology at https://fabricofdigitallife.com (Fabric) to explore the prediction that AR will evolve to become an ambient computing platform\, and to shed light on both potential risks and affordances. The transformative quality of AR is that it combines virtual components with human sensory modalities (e.g.\, sight\, sound\, touch)\, meaning that it can augment the first-person point of view of the user with the potential to achieve a significant sense of virtual presence. Analysis of key artifacts in Fabric illustrates the next iteration of Augmented Reality\, the ‘AR Cloud’ or ‘Mirrorworld\,’ as a speculative plan to create a shared multi-user environment\, a global augmented reality\, and “a real time spatial map of the world” (Inbar\, 2018; Kelly\, 2019). For example\, the AR cloud requires a persistent 3D digital copy of the world\, which means that if a developer creates a virtual overlay for a real space\, it will remain accessible to anyone across different devices and platforms. As an imagined technology future\, this presentation addresses how AR could affect both positive societal change (e.g.\, Open AR Cloud Association) as well as result in greater risk through further conditions of surveillance\, corporate control\, or harms to humans.

SUMMARY:Networked bodies\, AI\, and our future digital lives
DESCRIPTION:Isabel Pedersen’s Big Thinking Lecture Networked bodies\, AI\, and our future digital lives was originally broadcast on April 28\, 2020 for the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences of Canada series. \nWill bodies become computer platforms? Disruptive embodied computing technology is being proposed\, and it will change how people live in vastly different ways in our evolving post-Internet society. The idea of a thoroughly quantified\, remotely monitored networked body is propelling discussions of personal privacy\, human agency\, creativity\, consent\, social connection\, cultural values\, and ethics. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is seeping into all computing paradigms. As a consequence\, AI also operates as an ideology\, a belief system. \nThis talk raises questions about early-phase embodied technologies and the unintended consequences that may result in the future. Dr. Isabel Pedersen is Canada Research Chair in Digital Life\, Media and Culture and Associate Professor at Ontario Tech University. \nIsabel Pedersen and Andrew Iliadis are co-editors of Embodied Computing: Wearables\, Implantables\, Embeddables\, Ingestibles\, a collection released in spring 2020 by MIT Press. As a humanities researcher\, Pedersen explores how technology is invented and adopted; she takes a human-centric approach to understand the impact on life\, culture\, politics\, art\, ethics and social practices. She was inducted into The Royal Society of Canada’s College of New Scholars\,\nArtists and Scientists in 2014. \nReferences \nPedersen\, I. (2020\, April 28).
