Our digital lives theme

What’s on offer?

Join us for an eye-opening exhibition featuring images of care created by older adults and generated by AI. Reflect on your own understanding of care and the role of technology in shaping our perceptions of care, ageing, and images.  

Along with the exhibition, there is the opportunity to join an interactive workshop to create your own images of care using AI, and a sharing event where the powerful stories behind the exhibition will be discussed. 

What’s it about?

As our reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) grows, we invite you to reflect on what it reveals about our understanding of care and later life, and how to use AI tools responsibly. This series of events explore how AI-generated images can uncover biases and misconceptions about care in our society, and the role of technology in shaping these perceptions. What does care mean in our daily lives, and can AI ever “understand” care? (For more information of the underpinning research, please visit https://edin.ac/430rwT2.) 

 

Who’s leading the event?

Melody Wang, PhD student at University of Edinburgh, with a research focus on participatory design, older adults, and care technology. 

Dr. Nichole Fernandez, research fellow at University of Edinburgh, visual sociologist and media studies.
