Sociologies of Artificial Intelligence Plenary Panel at the BSA Annual Conference 2024: Crisis, Continuity and Change, 3-5 April 2024. Speakers: Jenny L Davis (Vanderbilt University), Vassilis Galanos (University of Edinburgh), Dan McQuillan (Goldsmith’s University, London), Lucy Suchman (Lancaster University) and Chair: Susan Halford (University of Bristol).
The conference convened a panel of experts to bring sociological analysis to bear on the political, epistemological and methodological conditions through which AI systems are produced and used. Members of the panel examined the imaginaries, techniques and practices that shape the conceptualisation and regulation of AI and the pre-figurative consequences of data and datafication. In turn, the panel also considered if and how sociological challenges to current AI assemblages might contribute to alternative futures, with or without AI.
