DH_OU (The Open University's Digital Humanities Research Collaboration) and the Department of Philosophy are happy to invite you to the next event in the Digital Humanities Seminar series.

Presenters: Jayant Ahalawat and Alessio Antonini 

Moderator: Derek Matravers

PhD researchers Jayant Ahalawat and Alessio Antonini will present their ongoing doctoral research and debate with participants the following issues:

• The role of the contemporary economic environment in dictating the interaction between individuals and technology
  • Whether this economic framework is also influencing the way "science" ought to be done (for example, studies on Artificial Intelligence)
• How technology is shaping interactions between individuals
• Whether the exercise of power through algorithms is different from the way power has been exercised historically

The event is free and everyone is welcome. Please register by 19th January 2021 through this Eventbrite page to receive a link to the meeting: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/digital-humanities-and-philosophy-roundtable-tickets-242665157017
