Decolonial Feminist Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence

Nurhak Polat (RTG Contradiction Studies) & Mihir Sharma (U Bremen)

U Bremen GW1

This symposium seeks to explore the possibilities and contradictions surrounding AI. It brings together decolonial feminist perspectives and research on artificial intelligence and opens a space for critical reflection on living with and thinking about ethical futures in relation to AI. Through a transnational approach, the symposium foregrounds diverse positionalities, contested imaginaries, and political struggles that shape — and unshape — the trajectories and ideologies of AI technologies and ethics.


To participate please contact Dr. Nurhak Polat (RTG Contradiction Studies / Institute of Anthropology and Cultural Research, U Bremen) or Dr. Mihir Sharma (Institute of Anthropology and Cultural Research, U Bremen).

earthing

“Geography as a discipline stands for a certain worlding, if not earthing, of contradiction, in both theoretical and pracitcal respect.”

Julia Lossau
decolonial scholarship

“Creating decentralizing and decolonizing scholarship on contradiction, contradictory phenomena, and contradicting processes is a challenging task.”

Kerstin Knopf
articulate

“Contradictions need to be articulated in order to exist.”

Martin Nonhoff
problem to be solved

“Contradiction is not primarily a problem to be solved but a motor we cannot do without.”

Martin Nonhoff
every day

“Living in contradictions is what we experience every day. Why do we know so little about it?”
