Now You See It: Decolonization, Decoloniality, AI, and the Internet

By UP Media and Public Relations Office on September 9, 2024

The Decolonial Studies Program of the UP Center for Integrative and Development Studies is organizing a roundtable, "Now You See IT: Decolonization, Decoloniality, AI, and the Internet" on 20 September 2024, 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm (Philippine Standard Time) via Zoom. Slots are available on a first-come, first-served basis, but participants are encouraged to register. Zoom credentials will appear upon submission of the registration form here.

This roundtable aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and interested parties from diverse backgrounds to critically assess the ways in which the Internet and AI have become tools by which material and colonial power are transmitted, reproduced, and disseminated.

Considering the means in which alternative media and social media promote hegemonic and counter-hegemonic political narratives, as well as the reproduction of bias in deep learning models, this exploratory roundtable aims to compile practical and policy recommendations for training and promoting digital literacy; it also explores the foundations for critical digital literacy.
