new book "At the Edge of AI"
Dear colleagues,
(Apologies for the self-promotion and cross-posting) I am incredibly happy to share that my book „At the Edge of AI. Human Computation Systems and Their Intraverting Relations“ has been published with transcript.
If you are interested in hybrid human–AI systems, human computation, citizen science, human–technology relations, and how they are negotiated in everyday life, I hope you will find this an interesting read.
In this book, I analyze how human computation or hybrid intelligence systems are developed in the field of citizen science to achieve what neither humans nor computers can do alone. Through multiple perspectives and methods, I examine the imagination of these assemblages, their creation, and everyday negotiation in the interplay of various actors and play/science entanglements at the edge of AI. Focusing on their human-technology relations, this ethnographic study shows how these formations are marked by intraversions, as they change with technological advancements and the actors' goals, motivations, and practices. With this work, I hope to contribute to the constructive and critical ethnographic engagement with human-AI assemblages in the making.
