Do We Still Need Experts?
Who Gets to Turn Culture Into Data?
AI is making it easier than ever to write code, analyze texts, build visualizations, and work with data. But does it make expertise less important, or change the kind of expertise we need?
Sarah Blick (art history), Nicholas Theis (sociology), Katherine Elkins (IPHS), and Jon Chun (IPHS) will introduce brief examples from their work before opening the conversation to the room.
What happens when we treat art work, a community, a story, or a relationship as data? Who decides what gets measured and what the results mean?
Everyone is welcome to join the discussion or simply listen. No technical background required.
Please join us in Chalmers Library 320 on Thursday, Sept. 3, at 11:10 a.m.
This event opens a year-long celebration of 15 years of Digital Humanities at Kenyon and 10 years of Human-Centered AI.
