In a collaborative effort with Communication and Women’s, gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGGS) Professor Jiyoun Suk, the UConn Humanities Institute (UCHI) has awarded a “Human-Centered AI Seed Grant” to Assistant Professor Ting-an Lin! Professor Lin’s project, titled “Reimagining AI: Global AI Narratives on Social Media across the Global North and South”, examines “the global public narratives about artificial intelligence (AI) on social media by analyzing their roots, impacts, and variations across different geolinguistic regions.”
This study combines philosophical ideas with computational social science methods to explore the conversations between the Global North and South, aiming to highlight the power dynamics that influence public views on AI and, ultimately, help create more inclusive and fair AI design and governance.
Congratulations, Professor Ting-an Lin!
