Education is integral to LASTLab's work. The network develops proposals for researchers, students, educators, organisations, and public-interest actors seeking critical and technical understanding of artificial intelligence and digital technologies.

Proposed areas

  • Social, philosophical, and political foundations of ai
  • Governance, rights, and accountable evaluation
  • Sociotechnical research methods and data analysis
  • Inclusive design and participatory experimentation
  • And digital platforms, labour, infrastructure, inequality, and technological sovereignty.
