    You and AI Conversations about AI technologies and their implications for society SUPPORTED BY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT AI TECHNOLOGIES AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS FOR SOCIETY DeepMind1 2 CONVERSATIONS ABOUT AI TECHNOLOGIES AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS FOR SOCIETY You and AI Conversations about AI technologies and their implications for society Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the science of making computer systems smart, and an umbrella term for a range of technologies that carry out functions that typically require intelligence in humans. AI technologies already support many everyday products and services, and the power and reach of these technologies are advancing at pace. The Royal Society is working to support an environment of careful stewardship of AI technologies, so that their benefits can be brought into being safely and rapidly, and shared across society. In support of this aim, the Society’s You and AI series brought together leading AI researchers to contribute to a public conversation about advances in AI and their implications for society.

  • Let Her Finish: Gender, Sexism, and Deliberative Participation in Australian Senate Estimates Hearings (2006-2015)
    Let Her Finish: Gender, Sexism, and Deliberative Participation In Australian Senate Estimates Hearings (2006-2015) Joanna Richards School of Government and Policy Faculty of Business, Government and Law University of Canberra ABSTRACT In 2016, Australia ranks 54th in the world for representation of women in Parliament, with women ​ accounting for only 29% of the House of Representatives, and 39% of the Senate. This inevitably ​ inspires discussion about women in parliament, quotas, and leadership styles. Given the wealth of research which suggests that equal representation does not necessarily guarantee equal treatment, this study focuses on Authoritative representation. That is, the space in between winning a seat and making a difference where components of communication and interaction affect the authority of a speaker.This study combines a Discourse Analysis of the official Hansard transcripts from the Senate Estimates Committee hearings, selected over a 10 year period between 2006 and 2015, with a linguistic ethnography of the Australian Senate to complement results with context. Results show that although female senators and witnesses are certainly in the room, they do not have the same capacity as their male counterparts. Both the access and effectiveness of women in the Senate is limited; not only are they given proportionally less time to speak, but interruption, gate keeping tactics, and the designation of questions significantly different in nature to those directed at men all work to limit female participation in the political domain. As witnesses, empirical measures showed that female testimony was often undermined by senators. Results also showed that female senators and witnesses occasionally adopted masculine styles of communication in an attempt to increase effectiveness in the Senate.

  • Jarrow March
    80th Anniversary of the Jarrow March 5-31 October 1936 The March After suffering years of high unemployment and deprived social conditions, it was decided by the Jarrow Borough Council on 20 July 1936 to present a petition to Parliament asking for the re-establishment of industry in the town. To deliver it, a deputation of 200 men from Jarrow would march 300 miles to London, raising awareness of the town’s situation. The march was referred to as a “crusade”, partly to emphasise the seriousness of the situation and partly to distinguish themselves from the “hunger marches” carried out by the National Unemployed Worker’s Movement during the 1920s and 30s. The NUWM had Communist connections, and the Jarrow crusade was firmly non-partisan. The march attracted broad local support, including that of the local political parties (Labour, Conservative and Liberal), and the marchers included Labour, Liberal, Conservative and Communist supporters. The town could not spend taxpayers’ money on the demonstration, but about 200,000 letters were sent to other corporations, trade unions and cooperative societies, raising money for a march fund. The initial target was £800; by 13 October the fund contained £850, and ultimately nearly double the target amount was raised. The marchers left Jarrow on 5 October 1936. They carried blue and white banners and the petition, bearing 11,000 signatures, bound in blue hand- tooled leather and kept in an oak box with gold lettering. Only men were appointed to march, having first been medically checked by the Local Medical Officer; however, they were accompanied for much of the journey by the MP for Jarrow, Ellen Wilkinson.

  • Ellen Wilkinson: from Red Suffragist to Government Minister by Paula Bartley
    blogs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/lsereviewofbooks/2014/05/06/book-review-ellen-wilkinson-from-red-suffragist-to-government-minister-by- paula-bartley/ Book Review: Ellen Wilkinson: from Red Suffragist to Government Minister by Paula Bartley Ellen Wilkinson was a key radical figure in the 20th century British socialist and feminist movement, a woman of passionate energy who was involved in most of the major struggles of her time. In this lively and engaging biography, Paula Bartley looks to chart the political life of this extraordinary campaigner who went from street agitator to government minister whilst keeping her principles intact. This book is clear, concise, and lively, and provides an interesting introductory insight into one of the lesser-known figures of the Labour Left, writes Gordon Bannerman. Ellen Wilkinson: from Red Suffragist to Government Minister. Paula Bartley. Pluto Press. February 2014. Find this book: In Ellen Wilkinson: from Red Suffragist to Government Minister, Paula Bartley provides a biographical sketch of an often-neglected figure in twentieth- century British labour history. Written as part of the Revolutionary Lives series – which, assessing the lives of individuals in short political biographies, aims to be ‘sympathetic but not sycophantic’ – the author claims Ellen Wilkinson (‘Red Ellen’) as a ‘key radical figure in twentieth century British history’. Certainly, in the first half of the twentieth century, an era long before ‘Blairite babes’, left-wing radical feminists within the trade union-dominated Labour Party were thin on the ground, and scholarly acknowledgment of Wilkinson is long overdue. Late Victorian and early Edwardian biographies of labour movement politicians predominantly reflected the political advancement and social mobility of labour within the political system.

  • Afghanistan, 11 Sept 2003-7 Apr 2004
    Major Richard C. Sater Notes from a Journal Afghanistan, 11 Sept 2003-7 Apr 2004 —for Lt. Col. Greg Vrentas, US Army Hey, you. Thanks. 11 Sept. 2003: DUST AGRAM AIR BASE, Afghanistan—The battle for Afghanistan after Sept. 11, 2001 was swift and decisive. The world and I watched as US mil- itary and coalition forces attacked and the Taliban government fell,B after six years of oppressive rule. So it seems entirely fitting that I step off the plane and onto the tarmac here on the second anniversary of a September event that redefined our present and our future and let us know we could never be complacent again. I have had a three-hour flight from Kyrgyzstan to think about where I am going and why, questions that are too big for the rattle and hum of a C-130 with two dozen of us sardined into the belly. We are Air Force, Army, Marine, Navy. Male and female. Private first-class and colonel. We are going to the same place for the same reason: to carry out our portion of the larger war versus terrorism. In my brand-new brown camouflage uniform, I am curious. A little apprehen- sive. Possibly scared. But proud too, which stands by itself. Thirty-two provinces make up this country that is roughly the size of Texas. I’ve seen breathtaking photographs of this place, but Bagram is only dusty flat, with the mountains in the distance. I am hopeful that six months here will give me some opportunities to see more than the inside of this fence.
