interdisciplinary voices in critical computing
our research work and interests
Felt AI is a collaborative project between myself (Goda Klumbytė), design researcher Daniela K. Rosner and artist Mika Satomi. Throughout the last year and a half, the three of us have been meeting regularly to probe, discuss and research together how can one feel AI. […]
EU guidelines on trustworthy AI posits that one of the key aspects of creating AI systems is accountability, the routes to which lead through, among other things, explainability and transparency of AI systems. While working on AI Forensics project, which positions accountability as a matter […]
Entering the field of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) entails encountering different terms that the field is based on. Numerous concepts are mentioned in articles, talks and conferences and it is crucial for researchers to familiarize themselves with them. To mention some, there’s explainability, interpretability, understandability, […]
When thinking of computer science – what images pop into one’s head and what can those images tell us about the discipline as well as interconnected societal expectations and norms? In this short post we report on our research into gendered codings of computer science. […]
Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) as a design perspective towards explainable AI can benefit from feminist perspectives. This post explores some dimensions of feminist approaches to explainability and human-centred explainable AI.
Critical Tools for Machine Learning or CritML is a project that brings together critical intersectional feminist theory and machine learning systems design. The goal of the project is to provide ways to work with critical theoretical concepts that are rooted in intersectional feminist, anti-racist, post/de-colonial […]
In 2022 an increasing number of digital businesses are building their business models on data collection, its usage, and further processing.
