AI Politics Hub
Our Research
The group encourages research and teaching that looks into questions around policy (e.g. regulation), philosophy (e.g. ethics), and political economy (e.g. the value-chains through which AI is produced, the impact of ownership structures on distribution).
Digitalisation: Human Locks and Human Keys
Michael Strange demonstrates how our own decisions can create human locks – old structures and preconceived patterns that limit innovation – but also human keys: inclusive design, diversity and community that unlock the potential of digitalisation. A lecture on how technology is shaped by people, not the other way around.
Artificial intelligence and local government (AILG)
– political and policy implications. A one-day multistakeholder workshop.
Teaching
Our teaching so far has included two courses: Global Politics of AI - Transnationalism, Agency, and Governance and Artificial Intelligence - Ethics, Regulation, and Everyday Politics. Both courses have been highly commended by students, providing a social science introduction to AI, and have been attended by students from diverse academic and professional backgrounds, including the technology sector and civil service.
