[Petit Fours #387] On ethical responsibility, curiosity, and surviving the AI summer
Hi, all! As the cherry tree outside our window is about to bloom, here’s what I’ve got for you:
#1 Now on my ‘want-to-read’ list: Keywords of the Datafied State, edited by Jenna Burrell, Ranjit Singh, and Patrick Davison, is “a collection of essays on concepts that are central to understanding the relationship between government and technology, and how it differs across geographies”.
#2 A concise but significant text from Amy Bruckman: Surviving the AI Summer
#3 Our paper Who Should Act? Distancing and Vulnerability in Technology Practitioners' Accounts of Ethical Responsibility is now finally up on the ACM Digital Library, along with everything else in the new PACM HCI issue (which I look forward to browsing later today).
#4 Geraldine Fitzpatrick has recorded a lovely, short podcast episode dedicated to Remembering Volkmar Pipek. “Be curious. Be who you are. Be curious who you are.”
