On April 18 , Lindsay Weinberg, Purdue University and Aarhus Insitute of Advanced Studies (AIAS) Fellow will give a talk entitled "AI and the Politics of Refusal": 

AI tools are being integrated into higher education at a rapid pace, often without time for university communities to meaningfully deliberate about whether these tools should be used for teaching, learning, or university-related decision-making. In this talk, we’ll consider under what circumstances (if any) should educators refuse to engage with AI tools? Is refusal even possible, and if it is, is it desirable? Drawing from feminist thinkers who imagine refusal as a way to open up and insist on a radically different future, this talk argues that it's crucial for educators to have the power to refuse the use of unethical AI tools on their campuses. A collective capacity to exercise refusal is needed for countering the corporate consolidation of control over the terms and priorities of AI research and development, and over higher education in the age of the neoliberal university.

The Center for Language Generation and AI at Aarhus University is committed to fostering the interchange of ideas and support for researchers in the area of language generation and AI. By opening our biweekly talks to the public, we aim to create a platform for knowledge sharing and collaboration among researchers, students, and the broader community.

These talks will be conducted virtually, allowing attendees from around the world to participate. Registration details and links to join each talk will be provided on our website. All talk will take place at 13:30 (CEST) on Zoom. The link is: https://aarhusuniversity.zoom.us/j/66002478758
