This month I am officially launching 🪁Fragile Computing🟦
The monograph is based on ethnographic research in critical infrastructures and mobilises concepts from #STS to understand cybersecurity beyond fixing
Get a sneak peek at the @Palgrave booth during #EASST4S24
Just published! In her #NewBook, Laura Kocksch argues that doing computer security means not striving for technical solutions, or individual awareness, but living with fragility.

In 2015, I applied to ten American universities for a PhD.
Got rejected by all ten.
Here is the reason (I think) I got rejected:

Wir suchen für unser Forschungsprojekt einen Comiczeichner - oder zeichnerin, der oder die die Forschungsergebnisse visualisiert: Es geht um KI-Systeme im Gerichtssaal. Gerne RT, z.B. durch @nadrosia @GywerMelanie #kleineKunstklasse
ALT Der Robotercharakter "KAI" aus meinem Buch ist hier gezeichnet worden als Richter mit ernstem Gesicht: Dieser Roboter ist an seinem eiförmigen Gesicht mit relativ starren, ovalen Augen und einem roboterhaften Mund erkennbar - er hat zwei geringelte Antennen links und rechts vom Gesicht. Dass er ein Richter ist, sieht man an der typischen schwarzen Robe mit Samtaufschlägen. Seine Hände liegen ruhig übereinander, es blitzt ein Goldring an seinem Finger. Seine Antennen bilden auf beiden Seiten ein Paragraphenzeichen. Auf der Zeichnung steht noch "KI vor Gericht".

My paper "What Kind of Trust does AI Deserve, if Any?" is now published at AI and Ethics. We've been doing 'trust in AI' wrong. Focus should be on epistemic trust when it comes to epistemic technologies such as AI ML etc. #AI #Trust #AIEthics #DataScience

A new report from @wef calls out ways to make AI more equitable and inclusive. It’s a fantastic report and raises the important questions, what is “inclusive AI” and how can we use this framework to address inequality? A thread with some of our thoughts. 🧵weforum.org/whitepapers/a-bl…
