Cre-AI-tivity: Blood in a Whatsapp message?

Series
The Oxford/Berlin Creative Collaborations
Embed
This last in our trilogy explores data as the foundation of AI systems. We learn how this enables mapping individual learners' progress and benchmarking in a teaching context, but also how that data exchange raises ethical issues.
We explore how artificial intelligence builds functionalities on different data streams and consider our options to select and influence such 'training data'. Investigating this from a position understanding teaching as enabling a learner’s response, we discover how intimate conversations with Romeo & Juliet arise from what manifests as the AI’s ‘agency’. Yet we have to check in how far this also enables interactions that we wouldn't want to encourage or support. Prompting listeners to engage in their own observations and interactions with machine learning, we advocate curiosity outside academic’s traditional comfort zones and building your own critical attitude alongside symbiotic relationships with relevant partners, agreeing work packages which relate to differential skill sets. Setting out a space for serendipity, and claiming a license to fail emerge as key catalysts in the process of applying artificial intelligence in the arts and humanities.

Benjamin Guedj, University College London, gives a OxCSML Seminar on 26th March 2021.
Abstract: PAC-Bayes is a generic and flexible framework to address generalisation abilities of machine learning algorithms. It leverages the power of Bayesian inference and allows to derive new learning strategies. I will briefly present the key concepts of PAC-Bayes and highlight a few recent contributions from my group.

Let's talk e-cigarettes
Embed
Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Nicola Lindson discuss emerging evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Professor Tim Coleman.
Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Nicola Lindson discuss emerging evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Professor Tim Coleman. This podcast is a companion to the electronic cigarettes Cochrane living systematic review and shares the evidence from the monthly searches.

In the May episode Jamie Hartmann-Boyce talks with Professor Tim Coleman from the University of Nottingham's Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. Professor and GP Tim Coleman discusses a study he is carrying out with colleagues from Queen Mary University of London which looks at helping pregnant women who smoke tobacco cigarettes quit smoking. This trial of 1140 pregnant women compares usual care of behavioural support plus nicotine patches to behavioural support plus e-cigarettes in women willing to receive help to stop smoking. This multi-centre randomised control trial is taking place in the UK and we will include the results in our Cochrane review when these become available. For more information on the study see: https://fundingawards.nihr.ac.uk/award/15/57/85

Our May literature search found four new ongoing studies which may be relevant to our review when they are completed.
