The Critical AI Seminar series will continue in 2025 and 2026 with another four lectures that critically address Artificial Intelligence (AI) from various perspectives – across different contexts of application and through different lenses of critique. The lectures are intended to once again bring together scholars from around the world in engaging discussions and further contribute to Critical AI Studies as a continuing ‘field in formation’ (Raley and Rhee, 2023).
The seminars are online, open to everyone. For each seminar, one or two prominent invited speaker(s) are invited to give a talk that engages theoretically or empirically with AI. The speakers are: Louise Amoore & Alexander Campolo, Fabian Offert, Helene Ratner & Nanna Thylstrup, and Thao Phan.
The seminar series is organised by Anna Schjøtt Hansen, Dieuwertje Luitse and Tobias Blanke, who are part of the Critical Data & AI Research Group at the University of Amsterdam. It is supported by the University of Amsterdam’s Research Priority area Human(e) AI, the Deep Culture Project, and the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis, and is hosted by Creative Amsterdam (CREATE).
