TASTE – On data and (dis)information

Université du Luxembourg - Espace cultures

The third talk of the TASTE Task series brought to you by Espace Cultures will take place at MUDAM on the 12th of May.

Mudam Museum of Modern Art

The development of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly generative AI, is closely linked to the collection, processing, and large-scale training of data. At times described as “the new oil,” such datasets have yielded significant economic value and power for major tech firms. These, companies are not the only ones collecting data from users’ interactions with digital platforms: governments, research institutions, and industries also rely on vast quantities of data to improve their administrative, scientific, or commercial systems and services.What has changed in recent years is how the availability of “big data” has driven the development of new algorithms now used to train generative AI. Rather than simply predicting patterns or behaviors for decision-making, these systems learn from data to generate ‘new’ content. In doing so, they increasingly shape — if not mediate — how information is accessed, produced, and contextualized.However, these systems are ill equipped to distinguish between reliable and questionable information, between fact and mere opinion. With their increasing presence in our homes, workplaces and the public realm, how can we prevent them from blurring the line between information and disinformation?The third TASTE talk aims to address these shortcomings by playfully and critically unpacking the underlying mechanisms, structures, and risks that the so-called “black boxes” may pose to our democratic societies.
