If it’s a live webinar, you can even ask any questions you may have and get the answer right away. If you’re lucky and the webinar is recorded, you can watch… Continue reading What I Learned in the Webinar ‘Un gran reto en gestión de comunicación’ by Dr. Patricia Domínguez

AI Accountability — The Rite Aid Case

On December 19, 2023, we got an example from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) of holding an operator/end-using organization accountable for the negative impacts of an artificial intelligence system, in this case, facial recognition system. This is interesting for us as it reflects the findings from our 2022 research papers on accountability for artificial intelligence… Continue reading AI Accountability — The Rite Aid Case

Our Experience Presenting The Project Win Game™ at the European Conference on Games Based Learning in Lisbon, Portugal

We were searching for the appropriate forum to promote our game The Project Win Game™. We found a conference we never heard of: the European Conference on Games Based Learning (ECGBL). It was an academic conference, so we weren’t sure whether it made sense to attend or let alone present our game. Still, applied and… Continue reading Our Experience Presenting The Project Win Game™ at the European Conference on Games Based Learning in Lisbon, Portugal

Best Paper Award at FedCSIS 2021: ‘Moral Decision-Making with Algorithms: Artificial Intelligence Project Success Factors’ by Gloria Miller

The algorithms implemented through artificial intelligence (AI) and big data projects are used in life-and-death situations. While research exists to address varying aspects of moral decision-making with algorithms, the definition of project success is not readily available. Nevertheless, researchers place the burden of responsibility for ethical decisions from AI systems on the system developers. Using… Continue reading Best Paper Award at FedCSIS 2021: ‘Moral Decision-Making with Algorithms: Artificial Intelligence Project Success Factors’ by Gloria Miller
