‘Infrastructure and Methodological Diversity’ at Future of Law Association Conference + DataxDigital 25

This week we were lucky to present at a joint session of the DataxDigital 25 ‘Infrastructure and Methodological Diversity’ and Future of Law Association Conference at London Southbank University. Thanks to Ozan Kamiloglu (Southbank) for inviting us to a panel on the theme of ‘Infrastructures of Political Values / Digital Infrastructures for Law’, together with friend of the project Bernard Keenan (UCL). We have been working on a paper exploring how conceptions of ‘intelligence’ in artificial intelligence interact with institutional-legal conceptions of decision, process, and value, and this was an ideal place to test the argument in a powerfully interdisciplinary setting. We met a lot of interesting people and learned a lot from all the other presentations, on themes from gender in research infrastructures (Sol Pérez Martínez) to the extreme nitty-gritty of sustainable approaches to technical systems (Oliver Cronk and Astrid Wynne), all of which will be really useful for our work on expanded-evaluation-first, in-house, participatory system co-design (which we clearly need a new name for!). Thanks to Ozan, Geoff Cox, Kasra Kassai and Igea Troiani for putting together this wonderful event!
