Digital Sobriety: An Ingredient for Success in Higher Education? | Observatoire sur la réussite en enseignement supérieur
Behavioural (lifestyle), physiological, biochemical or cognitive mechanisms are responsible for these impacts (Lemétayer, 2023). Most often, these mechanisms are interrelated, as in the case of sleep disorders, which can be caused by the encroachment of screen time on sleep time, by the effects of blue light and by cognitive overstimulation. Research also shows the psychosocial […]
Sobriety is rooted in an ethical reflection on digital technology, “so that individual actions are consistent with values such as preserving the environment, fighting climate change, and ensuring the physical and mental health of populations
We discuss how the human agency behind AI systems gets masked, and we've got a tool for you to play with that rephrases dodgy headlines
All AI systems are designed by humans, are programmed and calibrated to achieve certain results, and the outputs they provide are therefore the result of multiple human decisions.
overcoming bias in artificial intelligence begins with rigorous and honest critique, and a recognition of “the long history of western technology being used to the disadvantage of Indigenous people, Black people, poor people, and so on.”
Digital sobriety: how can we adapt our uses for a positive impact on the environment?

Indigenous Perspectives in AI - High School - Learning@CIFAR
It seems each time I highlight a new section of the course, it creates a new entry?
Each nation has its own worldview and cultural lens, but there is a shared belief that Indigenous knowledge is grounded in reciprocity and caring.
