I prompted Claude to generate an interactive HTML5 environment where the particles avoid the mouse and form figures of children. The particles were later changed by small pictures with text inside.

The particle system was created with the aid of Claude AI (version 3.5 Sonnet), which contrastingly state that children up to age of 17 are not authorized to use (in comparison with ChatGPT and Google Gemini).

Ignoring children deals away with the problem by focusing the responsibility on the parents, pretending that a large part of their userbase - children do not exist. In the Html, the mouse represents the tech companies and the particles the responsibilities towards children as users.

#Children as users is a form of #generative art. It seeks to depict how big tech platforms, such as social media and generative AI, deliberately do not acknowledge children as users because of the associated costs for protection and age-appropriated content.

especially if we are talking about a new phenomenon in society like GenAI.

But nothing can be done now, just apply again and wait 6 long months for the results.

Mind you, this is social sciences (STS on AI). In social sciences we are used to discover things on the way and that the methodology is indicative. E.g. the number of interviews is important but things might change on the way. Also the RQ and hypothesis do not need to be very specific at this stage

Just ranting that got 1 application rejected for a major funding. The organ expressly told to make the language simple so laymen and people from other expertises can understand.
It was precisely the simplicity that got my application rejected 🤌
My RQ, hypothesis and methodology needed to be clearer

I often catch myself thinking on concepts through squares, triangles and other dynamic forms which are hard to translate into text. So these exercises of drawing and doodling are also an effort of learning and sharing about #AI and its critiques.

It has been 3 months since I launched my comic series "conversations with a chatbot" and I couldn't be happier with the results so far. As a visual (and neurodivergent) person, I always find it more comfortable to speak through images.

I am passionate about translating or rethinking technical terms through art. Think about a GenAI bot and its thirsty for water, or its craving to make art?
#Cartoons are one of the vectors I choose to mix my love / skills with my research experience in the fields of law, sociology and technology.

#Captchas always amazed me because they appeared without any fanfarres and yet they are an important part of the #web. It feels like they become an entity of their own - like a guardian of a portal or tower. It is an automaton, but I imagined it like a riddler.

Excelente, muito obrigado por compartilhar!

Yes! And it comes with the occasional guilty of doing anything fun! I hope it works well for you!

Hi network, I am interested in joining (or perhaps even helping creating) workshops blending research with and about #AI and forms of #art such as #narratives, #drawing, #games and etc. If you know these or would be interested in partnering up (I do comic strips for instance), let me know.

time. And so I was focused on acquiring practical skills and couldn't focus on some basic academic structures. My PhD was basically a lot of catching up with literature and methodologies from #Sociology and #STS. Now I am doing the same with Critical #AI .

There is a need for a lot of catching up and making up for my upbringing. Not only I am the first academic in my family, I also come from a context of hardships where we had to make tough financial choices. This marked my take on career to be influenced by a survival mindset rather than investing my

Ever since I started working in #academia, I haven't read any other #book that is not academic. This is not because I am not interested, but because I feel guilty of using my time for non-scientific literature. But mostly the reason is that I feel that as researcher from the global #south

Hello! Please add me as well!
Also, I've sent you an email re: a submission!

Best regards,

If there was a witch that could do magic like Elphaba she certainly would want to mind her own and people would go after her for her knowledge so they could use it to exploit the others.

Watching the Wicked, all I could think was that a lot of "witches" were persecuted because their knowledge or lifestyle challenged the status quo. I once read that knowing too much about herbs was a potential danger for people to be accused of #witchcraft.

My most recent work on AI. Because often we forget that behind the #hype and #cyberutopianism, AI is being generally funded not for #altruism or the good of humanity, but to automate labour and reduce costs, much to the expense of the social.

Now the other part is to get funding to go there. Anyway, happy to discuss my idea with anyone. I'm in for #STS #sociotechnical #youth #criticalai #responsibleai discussions. Trying to be smooth with the hashtags, right?

Forum, that will take place in Rabat, Morocco. As the title say, I explore the characteristics of #GenAI in generating common sense content because of its #probablistic nature to investigate pervasive representations of #childhood. I will focus on synthetic images generated by these platforms.

Still in the dire look for job and funding as a #globalsouth #independent #researcher, I come to share some small good news. My proposal "Social Representations and Genai: Representations of Children through Synthetic Imagery" has been accepted for the next International Sociological Association

Also interested if you spot something! I'll let know if I find as well

Education and Awareness about ecology*

Good point. Ecodread makes sense, also because of extensive awareness campaigns and education. We still finding our way in the dark with AI. I also wonder if we find similar perspectives when other high impact technologies were deployed

I thought about all these questions while exploring my drawing skills below, representing the one teenager that asked me the question. I found this is a useful manner not only to raise attention to the issue but also to reflect on our practices through artistic approaches.
