This summer has been a busy and inspiring season for Futures With(out) Work team, as we’ve taken our research on the road to share with colleagues at conferences and workshops, big and small. From presenting new findings to exchanging ideas with fellow researchers, these events have given us the chance to showcase our progress and gather fresh ideas.
In June, Juho Lindman and Daniel Curto-Millet were presenting their paper on competing visions of digital solidarity in alternative FLOSS licensing at the 15th Organizations, Artifacts and Practices (OAP) Workshop in London.
In July, we had strong presence at the first-ever European AoM Meeting in Copehagen:
Jessica Nordlander and Aleksandre Asatiani presented a paper at CTO track – Remote Managerial Feedback in Practice: A Technology Choice Study.
Olgerta Tona and Lisen Selander presented a paper – Are we normalizing harm? Algorithms Politics and Banality – at the AoM wildcard session.
Juho Lindman and Daniel Curto-Millet participated in Professional Development Workshop – Imaginaries and Emerging Technologies: Methods and Processes for Time Leaps and Future-making – with an extended abstract titled Co-Designing “Open Data Strategy Toolbox” for Municipal Contexts: An Analysis of the Evolution of an Imaginary.
In August, we continued our conference tour at the 48th IRIS, arranged in Oslo, with two IRIS workshop papers:
Aleksandre Asatiani discussed his research in progress paper – When Autonomy Goes Too Far: Sociotechnical Envelopment for Responsible AI Agent Control – which proposes a practical framework for limiting AI agent actions in production environment.
Juho Lindman and Daniel Curto-Millet continued their discussion of co-designing open data toolboxes in municipalities within a thematic workshop group on Design.
Calendar Summer may be over, but we continue our work with Vasili Mankevich will be representing us at the 17th Mediterranean Conference on Information Systems with a paper – AI-Facilitated Boundary Objects Reconfiguring the Process of Collaborative Prototyping: The Case of Research & Innovation at Toyota – written with M.Sc. in Digital Leadership alumni Arvid Lunde and Jonathan Bergvall.
