SUMMARY:AI\, Cultural Diversity and Sustainability Walk into a Bar: What happens when a more diverse world meets increasingly uniform ways of knowing?
DESCRIPTION:AI\, Cultural Diversity and Sustainability Walk into a Bar: What happens when a more diverse world meets increasingly uniform ways of knowing? \nProfessor: Cristina Cruz (cristinac@eselx.ipl.pt) \nDate: 9 December\, 11h-13h CET \nOnline \nFor lecturers\, researchers\, and administrative professional \nContent\nCan a society become increasingly culturally diverse while also becoming increasingly uniform in the ways it produces\, accesses and circulates knowledge? And what would that mean for social sustainability? \nThis session explores the tension between cultural diversity and the increasing concentration of the systems through which knowledge is produced\, accessed and circulated. Drawing on the idea that cultural diversity can function as a reservoir of alternative ways of understanding and solving unforeseen problems\, it asks what happens when increasingly diverse societies rely on increasingly concentrated systems of knowledge — particularly artificial intelligence. \nThe session explores several dimensions in which AI may contribute to increasingly uniform ways of knowing\, including language\, knowledge\, concepts\, representation\, and the range of solutions or futures that become easier to imagine. \nAt the same time\, AI may also create new possibilities: lowering barriers to information\, supporting translation and education\, and potentially making minority languages and knowledge systems more visible and accessible. \nThe session invites participants to explore where AI may contribute to increasingly uniform ways of knowing\, under what conditions this may happen\, and if AI might instead support cultural diversity. The discussion ultimately asks what increasingly uniform ways of knowing might mean for social sustainability in increasingly diverse societies. \nLearning Objectives\n\nDevelop a critical understanding of the relationship between cultural diversity\, ways of knowing and social sustainability.\nExplore how increasingly uniform ways of knowing may emerge in increasingly diverse societies.\nExamine the risks and possibilities of artificial intelligence for cultural diversity and the ways knowledge is produced\, accessed and circulated.\nConnect conceptual perspectives with concrete examples from education and society.\nReflect on the conditions under which AI may support cultural diversity rather than contribute to increasingly uniform ways of knowing.\n\n Outcomes\n\nDiscuss the relationship between cultural diversity\, ways of knowing and social sustainability.\nIdentify ways in which increasingly uniform ways of knowing may emerge in culturally diverse societies.\nAnalyse how AI may both contribute to increasingly uniform ways of knowing and support access to diverse languages\, knowledge and perspectives.\nApply the concepts discussed to concrete examples from education and society.\nReflect on the conditions under which AI may support cultural diversity rather than contribute to increasingly uniform ways of knowing.
