Conferences & Workshops FeaturedUC CHaT Conference on "Science and Technology in the Anthropocene"
Annie Laws Room, 407 Teachers College, 2600 Clifton Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45221
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly shaping not only scientific and technological practices but also the environmental conditions under which human life unfolds. This conference brings together philosophers, cognitive scientists, social scientists, artists, and other humanists to examine how human experience should be understood in a world populated by non-biological intelligent systems whose development and operation intensify existing environmental pressures. The aim is to foster broadly accessible, non-technical discussion across the humanities on the ethical, social, and epistemological challenges posed by AI in the context of the climate crisis. Topics include algorithmic bias and justice, the environmental costs of AI, embodied and non-biological forms of intelligence, AI in art and perception, governance and responsibility in environmentally constrained contexts, participatory approaches to technological futures, and the implications of AI for the sciences.

Speaker SeriesFingers on Many Pulses: The Concerns We Balance When Making "Technology for Good" AI Chatbots
University of Cincinnati
Dr. Stephen Carradini, Associate Professor in Technical Communication at Arizona State University, explores the practical obstacles involved in developing AI chatbots for public benefit. Drawing on projects including AZ Waterbot and Riverbot, the talk examines how creators navigate competing priorities — factual precision, potential risks, environmental impact, and user satisfaction — when constructing AI systems for the public good. The session includes interactive demonstrations with the actual bots.
