Details: The relationship between automation and human work is a longstanding area of concern and reflection, and raises questions around public policy and across disciplinary boundaries. The use of 'crowdsourced' efforts and the increasing diversity of contributors in human-machine interactions presents particular challenges. Together these raise complex questions that have technical, social and ethical implications. Automating the crowd will bring together participants from different disciplines create a space for dialogue and enquiry about the relationship between automation and human work, which we hope will act as an incubator for future collaborations across disciplines and professions. Participants will be encouraged to share their own ideas and will be invited to engage with and shape proposals from the organisers about new writing projects and networks. After the workshop, participants are invited to join a public discussion with a panel.
Target audience: Academics and early career researchers from neuroscience, digital humanities, sociology, health and other disciplines.
Application deadline: Monday 3 December
