        Subject: Call for Papers AI-Imaginations

Dear colleagues and friends,

I hope this email finds you well. I would like to bring to your
attention the Call for Papers on the topic of ‘AI-Imaginations’ (see
also: attachment):

safety

"We need better AI. The goal of this symposium is to envision different
approaches from the prevailing paradigm of “law & order,” with its
vocabulary of “fighting” and “precautionary thinking.” To find a way
forward, we need to create socio-technological imaginaries of “AI to
come”: new ways of understanding, envisioning and implementing AI that
promotes more equitable, humane, and sustainable societies, in which we
focus on empowerment instead of repression. These AI-Imaginations can be
used as critical drivers of change in our algorithmic society. To
paraphrase sociologist David Lyon: “What might happen if AI were guided
by an ontology of peace rather than violence, an ethic of care rather
than control, an orientation toward forgiveness rather than suspicion?"

The two-day symposium will take place next year, 19-20 June, at Erasmus
University Rotterdam. The deadline for submitting abstracts is February
15th 2025. Would you please circulate the call to colleagues and other
interested persons?

Many thanks in advance – and all the best!
