要旨
The development of artificial intelligence / machine learning (AI/ML) systems has accelerated rapidly in the last decade. Now, very few of us are not in contact with AI systems on a daily basis - whether on an intimate basis with Siri, Google, Alexa or more abstractly through some of the AI/ML systems that drive modern commerce. However, while the AI/ML system was initially driven on the promise of greater access -- especially to people with disabilities -- the reality is that the newest iterations of AI/ML risk excluding disabled and other marginalized populations even further. From health evaluations to job screenings, from automated pedestrian detection to automated passport lanes, technologists, social scientists, bioethicists, legal experts, and members of marginalized communities will need to work together to chart the appropriate frameworks for the new deployments of these technologies.
講師略歴
Professor Karen Nakamura is a cultural and visual anthropologist at the University of California Berkeley. Her first book was titled Deaf in Japan: Signing and the Politics of Identity (2006). Her next project resulted in two ethnographic films and a monograph titled, A Disability of the Soul: An Ethnography of Schizophrenia and Mental Illness in Contemporary Japan (2014). She is currently working on the intersections of transsexuality and disability politics in postwar Japan as well as a project on disability, technology, and access especially in the context of Artificial Intelligence (AI/ML).
