Talking with Katie Conrad about AI and human rights
<p>Some time ago I invited Katie (Kathryn) Conrad onto a discussion panel in the <a target="_blank" href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/0GZcMVvz3Pt5i2H0ZWkAUg?go=1&sp_cid=bca8417d83ade83bbbdb3ba76c595556&utm_source=embed_player_p&utm_medium=desktop">Generative Dialogues series</a>, and while this covered some essential ground in AI pedagogies, I felt there was a lot more of her work to dig into. So I was delighted she agreed to come onto Imperfect Offerings for a deeper dive, particularly into her <a target="_blank" href="https://criticalai.org/2023/07/17/a-blueprint-for-an-ai-bill-of-rights-for-education-kathryn-conrad/">Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights in Education</a>.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.kathrynconrad.com/">Katie is </a>a Professor of English at Kansas University and co-director of the <a target="_blank" href="https://hallcenter.ku.edu/aidl">AI & Digital Literacy</a> project, in partnership with the National Humanities Center, as well as Associate Editor of the journal <a target="_blank" href="https://www.dukeupress.edu/critical-ai">Critical AI</a>. Her Blueprint was one of the first things coming out of the AI tailspin that really spoke to me - and I increasingly think a human rights based approach is critical - not only in the negative sense that the inequities of AI threaten so many legally enshrined rights (equality, non-discrimination, freedom of thought and expression for example) but also in a positive sense. </p><p>We need something in which to ground our ideas about humanity, in opposition to definitions of ‘the human’ emerging from the AI industry as a kind of host species for ‘intelligence’, and then as an inverse or supplement or deficiency in relation to whatever ‘artificial’ intelligence is supposed to be capable of. Human rights is a way of thinking about being human means that - for all its imperfections - starts from our common vulnerability and dependence on each other, and therefore our equality. Human rights have a long history of collective thought and action, and shared institutions that seemed robust until quite recently. </p><p>So it was the connection between education and rights, and Katie’s intentions in developing the blueprint, that I really wanted to talk about. As ever, we ranged well beyond our original brief.
