Episode 11: Nurul Huda Rashid

In this episode, we discuss Culture Studies as a topic.
We speak with researcher and visual artist, Nurul Huda Rashid who is currently pursuing her PhD in Cultural Studies in Asia at the National University of Singapore.
Nurul’s research explores the role of algorithms in the study of Muslim women images. Her current project, Women in War, is a survey of images of women in war, critiqued through lenses of gender and violence, politics of the visual, and the roles of the algorithm and archive as methods. So we will be getting a double feature on this episode as we also venture into the burgeoning space of Generative AI. Nurul analyses how images of culture are produced, consumed and made through aspects of image reproduction, automation, computerisation, annotation, and articulation

We will discuss how culture, technology and AI can be understood together. We will get into juicy questions like “Does AI have a culture?“, and “How can we build more ethical AI?“.
