Explores the political dimensions of data-driven and AI technology
- Features empirical, theoretical and historical treatises both on the role of data in politics and the governance of data-intensive and AI systems
- Covers a range of disciplines, including science and technology studies, critical data studies, digital sociology, information studies, media and communication studies, gender studies, history and political science, and more
- Presents majority-world perspectives, radical political economic theories, feminist thought, critical race theory and environmental perspectives
The Politics of Data and AI series will feature transnational scholarship exploring how datafication and artificial intelligence play a role in political life. The series is invested in the politics of data widely construed, with particular emphasis on environmental and ecological costs, labour and work, media and cultural representations, governance and policy, and the global struggles featuring data-intensive systems. With a strong emphasis on geographic diversity, books will offer empirically grounded accounts from around the world, along with critical analyses and theories that challenge mainstream understandings and that promote radical, alternative approaches to the governance of data and AI.
