Suzanne Kite: "How to Build Anything Ethically" - Tuesday, Nov. 21

[Marcel O'Gorman]

Dear Colleagues,

The Critical Media Lab is thrilled to announce that Dr. Suzanne Kite, award-winning Oglála Lakȟóta artist, composer, and academic, will be joining us via Zoom THIS TUESDAY for an actionable talk about designing and world-building a "Good Way.” This talk builds on a methods-based essay she contributed to the Indigenous Protocol and Artificial Intelligence<https://www.indigenous-ai.net/position-paper/> position paper.

Additional details are below. Please share with your students.

DATE: Tuesday, November 21 at 11:30 am EST
LOCATION: Please see Zoom link and passcode below

TITLE: “How to Build Anything Ethically”
This discussion of ethical decision making when building technologies in a ‘Good Way’ includes two examples. First, I illustrate how the protocol for building a Lakota sweat lodge can act as a framework for building a physical computing device. Next, I provide an example of how multiple streams of protocol are necessary to build an AI system as a confluence of ethics. Some ideas proposed here are not currently possible, some are possible if investment is made in the necessary research, and some are possible but only through a radical change in the way technology companies are run and the pyramid of compensation for the exploitation of resources is reversed.

BIO:
Suzanne Kite is an award-winning Oglála Lakȟóta artist, composer, and academic. Her scholarship and practice explore contemporary Lakȟóta ontology (the study of beinghood in Lakȟóta), artificial intelligence, and contemporary art and performance. She creates interfaces and arranges software systems that engage the whole body, in order to imagine new ethical AI protocols that interrogate past, present, and future Lakȟóta  philosophies.
