✨@Hornsey_HQ closed out the Counter Culture public lecture series yesterday @LakesideArts with a fascinating sold out talk about the rise of chain stores in the UK. Afterward, we headed to the exhibition to watch the gallery robots in action! 🚀🤖 #CounterCulture #Boots175
Take a robot-guided tour (15 min approx.) at the Counter Culture exhibition!

Huge thanks to the curators @Hornsey_HQ, Sophie, & @LakesideArts!
✨🤖 Today until Sunday, you may spot a robot in the Counter Culture galleries leading tours and sharing exhibit insights! Curators have partnered with @UoNComputerSci and @Robotics4Good to provide a unique exhibition experience, click below to learn more: sway.cloud.microsoft/Ar4gB8f…
I truly had a great time last weekend talking about trust, robots, and AI for @SoapboxScience Nottingham 🥰
Thank you @HelenaIGomes and team for organising this event!

Now at twitch.tv/dair_institute, Mophat Okinyi asks, why are the data workers so poor as Sama, the data labeling company that boasted about "positively impacting" their lives, kept on getting so rich 🤔 ?
This project is a MUST for anyone using, working with, and/or investigating AI. We must learn and listen to the stories behind tools like ChatGPT. There is no AI without data, and the data workers behind AI deserve respect and ethical, human, treatment. data-workers.org/
Join us at the launch of Data Workers' Inquiry on July 8 at 8am PDT/5pm CET, executed by 15 data workers in 4 continents. Find zines, reports, documentaries, podcasts & more with insights that can only be found when workers tell their own stories👇

A new study has shown that people modify their behaviour to accommodate autonomous delivery robots, and it is this invisible ‘human work’ that allows robots to run smoothly on the streets @UoNComputerSci @HorizonDER

“I very much identify as a Luddite,” [Veena] Dubal said. “This doesn’t mean I am against technology. It means I am against dispossession.”
2023 was the year AI exploded into the mainstream. It was also the year workers, artists and activists stood up against bosses and tech giants using it degrade their jobs and communities. I wrote about the rising movement of new Luddites for @TheAtlantic:

Super interesting presentation by @ABoudouraki on non-use of technology (specifically telepresence robots).
We need to rethink how we determine 'success' or 'failure' of tech beyond the binary use/non-use. There could be meaning & value in limited and low-use too.
