Data Justice Week
University of Edinburgh
20-24 May 2019
Bringing colleagues and students from across the University and beyond, Data Justice Week explores concepts associated with 'justice' and 'ethics' in the context of big data, algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI). A key question is whether more established ethical frameworks can fully account for the complex, often unpredictable, justice issues arising once data-intensive technologies are deployed in social contexts.
Guest speakers include: Kendra Briken (University of Strathclyde), Huw Davies (Oxford Internet Institute), Lina Dencik (Data Justice Lab at University of Cardiff), Lilian Edwards (Newcastle University), Virginia Eubanks (University of Albany), Tristan Henderson (University of St Andrews), Aphra Kerr (Maynooth University), Alison Powell (London School of Economics), Alex Wood (Oxford Internet Institute).
