SUMMARY:Department Speaker Series: Safiya Noble - UCLA
DESCRIPTION:Data In Society\, Not Data As Society \nThe landscape of information is rapidly shifting as new imperatives and demands push to the fore increasing investment in digital technologies. Yet\, critical information scholars continue to demonstrate how digital technology and its narratives are shaped by and infused with values that are not impartial. Technologies consist of a set of social practices\, situated within the dynamics of race\, gender\, class\, and politics\, and in the service of something — a position\, a profit motive\, a means to an end. In this talk\, Dr. Safiya Umoja Noble will discuss her book\, Algorithms of Oppression\, and delve into issues ranging from marginalization and misrepresentation in commercial information platforms like Google search\, to the profound power struggles that violate civil\, human\, and collective rights through AI and machine learning projects. \n___________ \nSafiya U. Noble is the David O. Sears Presidential Endowed Chair of Social Sciences and Professor of Gender Studies\, African American Studies\, and Information Studies at UCLA.
