[Commlist] Fellowship on AI and Structural Inequalities - University of Liverpool

Fellowship on AI and Structural Inequalities - University of Liverpool

The University of Liverpool is offering a range of three-year 
Fellowships to explore AI topics.  The Department of Communication and 
Media, and the Digital Media and Society Institute will host a 
Fellowship focused on the role of AI in increasing or mitigating social 
inequalities.
Applications are due by 1st of December.

Fellowship in this area will develop a programme of work examining how 
AI systems can challenge or perpetuate structural social inequalities in 
digital societies. Research will combine computational social science 
with critical humanities perspectives to explore the impact of AI across 
welfare, employment, education, media, and/or justice. It will address 
the intersection of digital and AI divides with race, class, and 
disability, and may consider participatory methods for democratising AI 
development. Methodological innovation may include blending 
quantitative, ethnographic, and algorithmic methods to create tools that 
democratise access to or the design of AI for affected communities. The 
Fellow will collaborate with a set of civil society organisations, trade 
unions, and digital rights groups who already partner with the University.
