Rethinking Ai for Good
AI for Social Good (AI4SG) initiatives have emerged in various sectors. However, AI's non-neutral nature challenges claims that the “good” can simply be inferred by association with broad goals such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The lack of a clear definition of "the good” or what it entails in practice risks making AI4SG an empty signifier. This ambiguity allows unchecked interventions, undermining societal efforts to align future…
Unblackboxing How Sociotemporalities Inform AI Accountability
In recent years, numerous accountability interventions have been introduced to address the harms and inequalities associated with Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. Early efforts concentrated on transparency and explainability, often operationalized as technical fixes intended to “open the black box” and render algorithmic processes more intelligible. However, sociological research has revealed the limitations of these interventions, particula…
Semantic Web Practices
In the past thirty years, the Web has developed from its inception as a layer of protocols on top of the Internet to use by more than 5 billion people and organizations. This has driven the creation of vast quantities of data and led to deep concerns about the politics of digital data and computational methods. To date, critical investigation of these concerns has focused on large commercial platforms built on top of the Web, and their use of mac…
Focusing attention on physicians’ climate-related duties may risk missing the bigger picture
This study was funded by Wellcome (222180/Z/20/Z and 208053/B/17/Z), SB is funded by an NIHR Academic Clinical Lectureship (CL-2022-13-001)
Environmental sustainability and biobanking
Biobanks have expanded dramatically over the past few decades, as have their storage and computational requirements. These requirements have environmental impacts, including mineral extraction and manufacturing processes associated with digital infrastructures, carbon emissions related to sample storage and data storage and analysis, and associated waste. Here we analyse whether biobanks have any specific policies about these environmental impact…
