        Subject: Europe and the technologies of 'Others' in Amsterdam and online, March 23

Dear all,

On March 23, 8 pm the Amsterdam Centre for European Studies (ACES)
will be hosting a hybrid event on “The geopolitics of foreign
technologies: Europe and the technologies of ‘Others’.

Our guests that evening will be Nina Klimburg-Witjes, Gianluigi Negro
and Gertjan Hoetjes. They will discuss how technologies are imagined in
Europe and what role (foreign) technologies play in Europe’s self-image.

Abstract: 
European technology regulation is a dynamic process strongly
influenced by how regulators and publics perceive developments in other
regions of the world. For almost a century, western discourses on the
technology of others have ranged from fascination to anxieties informing
geopolitical decisions on how to deal with foreign technology markets.

The geopolitical imaginations of others’ technological abilities but
also the (sovereign) spaces of their application in both ‘developing’ as
well as leading technology markets has thus always shaped policy-making.
Currently, dominant narratives such as China’s goal to become an AI
superpower challenging the European market and data security, as well as
Russia’s state-organized cyberspace activities abroad challenging
political stability have led to a proliferation of images of a
defenseless and outpaced West.

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS   International Conference "Authorship in Hispanic
Literatures"

At The University of Valladolid, Faculty of Philosophy and
Letters, On September 28 and 29, 2023 (in person and online)   Based on the
Heideggerian idea that what characterizes a work as such is that it was created,
the international conference on &quot;Authorship attribution in Hispanic
Literature&quot; aims to be a space for interdisciplinary reflection on the
concept of the author and the various issues inherent to authorship in Spanish
literature. From a global perspective and in a chronological framework that
covers Hispanic literature from the Middle Ages up to the twenty first century,
there will be room for discussion on the various issues of authorship
attribution and plagiarism, the new methods of identifying authorship in the
Digital Humanities, the concept of copyright in its different theoretical
facets, and other aspects of legal nature related to intellectual property and
the publication of works

        Subject: Online lunchtime talk on AI for Information Governance in Microsoft 365 (LUSTRE project)

Dear all,

We are pleased to invite you to the third online lunchtime talk AI for
Information Governance in Microsoft 365 on Wednesday April 5th from 12:30 to
13:30 (UK time). The talk will be delivered via MS Teams.

The event is organised by the AHRC-funded project Unlocking our Digital Past
with Artificial Intelligence (LUSTRE<https://lustre-network.net/>) led by Dr
Lise Jaillant (Loughborough University). LUSTRE seeks to better understand how
Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help improve the preservation, access to and
usability of government archives produced in digital form.

The second lunchtime event will feature a talk on the functionality provided by
some of the existing AI-driven governance tools that can be found within
Microsoft 365. The speaker is Robert Bath, leading solution architect,
Microsoft365 expert of the platform’s retention capabilities and IRMS’ Digital
Director.

AI for Information Governance in Microsoft 365



While artificial intelligence has been claimed to be ‘just around the corner’
for several decades now, over the past few years there have been clear
indications that the technology is starting to be used in real-world scenarios.

Within the Information Governance community AI is certainly being anticipated as
somewhat of a panacea. With most organisations having inadequate processes
surrounding the way they store and manage information throughout its lifecycle,
AI is starting to be seen as the solution that will clean up the existing mess
and sort out everyone’s ‘digital heaps’.

Microsoft, alongside other tech giants has recently been investing heavily in
starting the bring the potential of artificial intelligence into their cloud
collaboration platform, Microsoft 365. We’ve already seen several information
management applications being introduced into the platform, which leverage the
AI provided by Microsoft’s Cognitive Services.

In this session, Rob Bath outlines the functionality provided by some of the
existing AI-driven governance tools that can be found within Microsoft 365.
These include:

  *   Trainable Classifiers – uses AI to automatically classify content in your
tenant that matches the positive examples that you’ve provided.
  *   Viva Topics -  a knowledge management extension, which automatically
creates a knowledge network out of your existing content.
  *   Microsoft Syntex – a quickly maturity suite of tools, which use AI to
automatically identify, classify and extract metadata from specific types of
content. The various models that Syntex provides will be outlined, including
Structured, Unstructured & Freeform Document Processing.

During this session, Rob Bath will outline his views on each of these
capabilities as they currently exist, while also exploring the next steps that
he sees on the horizon, especially the application of AI for auto summarisation
of content within Microsoft 365.


Speaker’s bio:

Having overseen some of the UK’s most extensive records management architectures
in Microsoft 365, Rob Bath is a leading solution architect and subject matter
expert of the platform’s retention capabilities. Currently serving as the IRMS’
Digital Director, Rob is aims to help to bridge the gap between Information
Management and IT.
