SUMMARY:Feminism\, Disability Access & AI
LOCATION:Cambridge University: Murray Edwards College
DESCRIPTION:Dr Amy Gaeta will deliver the talk\, which will be followed by
  a Q&A with Alberto Garcia\, Librarian at Rosemary Murray Library\, and th
 e audience. This talk - Feminism\, Disability Access and AI - builds on fe
 minist theories of passivity and disability theories of creativity and acc
 ess to examine the possibilities and contradictions of making poetry with 
 a form of AI called automatic speech recognition\, commonly known as speec
 h to text. Against both techno-utopian narratives of accessibility and ind
 ependence\, Dr Gaeta develops the concept of willed passivity to describe 
 a feminist crip practice of intentionally embracing dependence\, bodily li
 mitation\, and technological mediation. Leaving transcription errors\, gli
 tches\, and bodily interruptions within the poems foregrounds the interdep
 endence between disabled bodymind and accessibility software\, challenging
  liberal ideals of autonomous authorship and creativity. This talk inhabit
 s the ethical tensions of using AI-powered access software\, demonstrating
  how disabled artists navigate accessibility through technologies embedded
  within systems of extraction while simultaneously cultivating alternative
  modes of relation\, authorship\, and aesthetics. In doing so\, it contrib
 utes to ongoing conversations on the politics of artistic creation with ne
 w technologies.
