English and “AI’s wild west”

On May 16th, English’s Critical Media Lab held its third Critical Tech Talk, “AI Five Ways.” The series is sponsored by Communitech, UWaterloo’s Office of Research, and faculties of Arts, Environment, Engineering, Health, Math, and Science at the University of Waterloo. Speakers from the English dept were Kem-Laurin Lubin (PhD candidate) and Dr. Marcel O’Gorman (host/moderator). The event was organized primarily by Alexi Orchard (PhD candidate) and Dr. O’Gorman, with input from an interdisciplinary group that included English’s Dr. Heather Love and faculty in Systems and Design Engineering.

Communitech has produced an overview of the event; for those who are deeply regretting not attending, there’s also a video available online.
