Podcasts
We are proud to present the following podcasts that members and collaborators of the lab have put together for your listening pleasure.
The Digital Cancer Twin Podcast
The Digital Cancer Twin Podcast comes out of a interdisciplinary collaboration between Queen’s School of Computing and School of Religion to investigate the ethical, social, philosophical and technical implications of the cutting edge AI cancer diagnostic technology that is being developed at Queen’s. This technology allows patients to receive accurate cancer diagnoses and predictions in the early stages of their treatment. What happens when one’s future life can be predicted using algorithmic models? What new responsibilities do medical practitioners need to be aware of while using this new tool? This podcast was edited and produced by Dr. Jordan Loewen-Colón and Andrei Pora in partnership with the Centre for Health Innovation.
Episodes:
- Introduction to the Digital Cancer Twin Project: Amber Simpson, LLana James, and Dr. Sharday Mosurinjohn discuss how the DCT Project started.
- AI, Military Funding, and the Digital Cancer Twin (22 March 2023): Amber Simpson joins to discuss the role of military funding in AI research, and the development of the Digital Cancer Twin
- Race Medicine, Data Justice, and an Ethics of Artificial Intelligence: Interview with LLana James to talk about the history of race medicine in the development of contemporary AI technology and a possibility for an ethical approach to data and science.
- The Role of the Humanities in AI and Medical Research: Interview with Dr. Sharday Mosurinjohn and discuss the struggles and importance of including interdisciplinary perspectives on science/technology/medicine related projects.
The Responsible Use of AI Podcast
The Responsible Use of AI Podcast is a podcast series hosted by Dr. Jordan Loewen-Colón, Vanessa Ferguson and Aakanksha Khandwaha. This podcast series engages multidisciplinary scholars across North America in discussions on the implications of AI technologies and tools, and necessary considerations prior to its deployment. These conversations are intended to ensure that AI will be useful universally and that its benefits are felt by everyone. In a time where interest in artificial intelligence is rampant, how must we responsibly deploy this technology? Moreover, how must we do so in a meaningful and ethical way? This podcast was created in partnership with Centre for Health Innovation.
Episodes:
- Indigenous Data Sovereignty and Data Justice in the Age of AI: Interview with Robyn K. Rowe and explore what considerations must be made to ensure that AI tools and technologies are safe for Indigenous populations.
- Implications for Data Curation in the Age of AI: Interview with Ishtiaque Ahmed and discuss sustainable and ethical computing in the age of AI, especially for and with marginalized communities locally and globally.
- Who is (Ac)counted for in AI?: Interview with Os Keyes and discuss AI systems and gender considerations in computer science all amid the age of AI.
