About us

This reading group is founded by two Concordia graduate students, Veronique and Soroosh. By uniting two very different fields of study, we wished to broaden the scope of our understanding of the ethical, social and scientific aspects of AI and to complement each other's expertise on the subject.

Veronique is currently doing a MA in social and cultural anthropology at Concordia. Her interests are varied and include artificial intelligence, medical anthropology, food sovereignty, and indigenous studies.
Soroosh is pursuing his Ph.D. in the field of artificial intelligence, with emphasis on biomedical and health-related problems. His research interests fall under the umbrella of “AI for Good”, and he is curious about Ethical AI from a mathematical and algorithmic point of view.

We would love to have anyone who is interested in this topic on board!

You do not have to be a computer scientist to join in (although it's definitely awesome if you're one!).

We believe every field of study has great insights to bring into this subject and could bring an important contribution to this reading group!
