Bio

As an anthropologist with a background in linguistics, I study digital technologies and the cultures, societies and politics that enfold them. My current research on Artificial Intelligence works towards several related goals: It aims at demythologizing common assumptions about technologies. The widespread concern with AI ethics is one of my focuses here. A second aim of my work is to generate insight about how groups – namely scientific organizations – stabilize and/or transform their expectations and norms through language technologies. My third area of interest looks at how sociocultural assumptions about language are imprinted into language technology itself. My case studies include collectives of feminist technologists, as well as African computer scientists
