Voiko tiede pyrkiä maailman parantamiseen menettämättä puolueettomuuttaan? | MustRead Tiede on aina pyrkinyt tutkimusten ohessa muuttamaan maailmaa paremmaksi. Se ei tee tutkimuksesta epätieteellistä, professori Panu Raatikainen Tampereen yliopistosta kirjoittaa. VAPAA LUKUOIKEUS.

Persujen tiedepamfletin myötä taas ajankohtainen kirjoitus (vuodelta 2023) uusintana:

#Persut #Tiede #Tutkimus #Tutkimusrahoitus #SuomenAkatemia #Politiikka

Tämä ei ole hyvän mielen postaus, mutta ehkä syksyn tärkein postaukseni. Suosittelen kaikille tutkijoille ja tutkimusryhmille: käsitelkää törkyriskejä ja suunnitelkaa toimenpiteitä etukäteen yhdessä.

Lähiaikoina on tiettävästi odotettavissa törkyä tiedeyhteisöä kohtaan. Ketjusta muutama pikavinkki.

Ilmainen kiva tutkimushankeidea jollekulle: ”Lähtökuoppiinsa jääneen tai persuksillensa pudonneen yliopistouran synnyttämä viha/katkeruus persuuntumisinsentiivinä”.

Loppuuko tämäkin klassikkolauseeseen ”ja he taistelivat yhdessä sodan loppuun asti”? Täytyy myöntää, että kymmenen ikävuoden korvilla korkkareiden homoerotiikka ei varsinaisesti avautunut.

On behalf of the Organising Committee, I would like to express my warmest gratitude to our excellent plenary speakers, presenters, and attendees. You have made the WORK2025 Conference a rich and memorable success! Already looking forward to WORK2027!

I'm currently participating in the #WORK2025 conference on "Work in the Era of Unruly AI". Three interesting days ahead!

In his plenary Antonio Casilli asks the relevant question of who does the invisible work for AI?

Powerful first WORK2025 plenary is chaired by Seppo Poutanen.

Looking forward to present my artwork and research in the context of the #WORK2025 conference today – as part of the stream "Exploring the human in AI worldbuilding" chaired by Minna Ruckenstein, Tuukka Lehtiniemi, and Santeri Räisänen!

@verenafriedrich.bsky.social Dear Verena, it was such a great enrichment to WORK2025 that you had a chance to tell about your impressive artistic work! Your ”pea machine” reminded me of Auger & Loizeau’s projects on so-called critical design.

A very thought-provoking and fascinating keynote speech going on by Steven Vallas.

Title: ”Platfrom Capitalism Revisited: The Coming of Algorithmic Society”

Chaired by Anne Kovalainen.

Enumerating AI effects in education Photo by Igor Omilaev on Unsplash Over recent weeks, controversy has surfaced over research publications claiming to show statistical evidence that generative AI has beneficial effects on learning.…

The current desperation to show the causal “effects” of AI in education is leading to a rush of studies and meta-analyses that immediately gather public and social media attention despite their significant methodological shortcomings and limitations codeactsineducation.wordpress.com/2025/05/28/e...
