📢 Come join Pedro Sanches, Mafalda Samuelsson Gamboa and me at our workshop: 'Opening up the Futures of AI in Health: Fabulation for Innovators' - 19th November in Gothenburg. Dominant future narratives about #AI in #health limit #innovation. A handful of actors perpetuate closely aligned socio-technical imaginaries that leave little room for manoeuvre. We need new approaches to counter hegemonic narratives, increase participation and support innovation in AI and health. This is where #Fabulation comes into the picture! 💭 This interactive and collaboration workshop draws on lessons learnt from our two respective WASP-HS projects and our work within the Nordic Fabulation Network (link in comments). We will use fabulation to facilitate innovation and to reimagine the futures of AI in health 🏨 It's a radically inclusive approach and all are warmly welcome. But numbers are limited to keep it cozy, so best to sign up soon! Full details of the workshop and how to sign up are here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dZ5j4DT2 The workshop is being held in conjunction with the WASP-HS conference 'AI for Humanity and Society 2024' in Gothenburg on the 19-20th November 2024. WASP-HS Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program – Humanity and Society, Malmö University, Umeå University, The Faculty of Engineering at Lund University.

Our next #HCIISeminarSeries guest will be Gary Hsieh, Associate Professor in University of Washington Human Centered Design & Engineering. Join us! 🎙️ Talk: "Accelerating Research Translation into Design Practice Using Generative AI" 📅 Date: Friday, 11/22 🕜 Time: 1:30pm 📍 Location: NSH 1305 + livestream 🔗 Details:https://lnkd.in/efY_Gxpg 📝 Abstract: Many valuable insights embedded in scientific publications are siloed and rarely translated into results that can directly benefit humans. This contributes to the so-called research-practice gaps, impedes the diffusion of innovation, undermines evidence-based decision-making, and contributes to the disconnect between science and the public. In this talk, I will discuss the research on translational science that my research group has been working on over the past few years. I will present findings on barriers that prevent the successful adoption of research insights into design practice and introduce AI-powered tools to facilitate translational work. #cmuhcii #CarnegieMellon #HCIISeminarSeries #HCIIAlumni #HumanCenteredDesign #SocialComputing #HumanComputerInteraction #Communication #Innovation
