Join us tomorrow for a lecture by @linadencik.bsky.social! "The tenant state poses risks to the welfare state that may be distinct from neoliberalism and privatisation that dominated welfare discussions in the post, and may therefore require different responses." cdh.uu.nl/event/lectur...

New special issue out! 🚀 Co-edited by me & fabianlferrari.bsky.social, on generative AI governance, now published in *Information, Communication & Society*. 🔗 Open access intro: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... What's up with AI and energy? In this article we explore the growing hunger of AI for energy and the growing intertwining of the energy industry and the AI infrastructure investment through power purchase agreements, especially for nuclear power

What if “sovereignty” does not capture how power works in AI value chains? Join us in Berlin for "Sovereignty Exhaustion: New Vocabularies for the Geopolitics of Global AI Value Chains", co-organized with @schneiss.bsky.social and @grohmannrafael.bsky.social. More here: tinyurl.com/y4d7e7xy

I'm pleased to share my contribution to @politicalgeography.bsky.social's AI forum: "The Latent Subject: AI, Recognition, and the Politics of Latent Space": www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

So happy to have @profgillian.bsky.social (alongside other great speakers) joining this workshop on ‘Techno-geographies of AI’ in Milan on Friday 27 March. Co-organised with @ludovico-rella.bsky.social and Darío Negueruela del Castillo. @fabianlferrari.bsky.social

I gave a short talk at Cornell yesterday on my science-of-science work investigating how AI is being used by researchers and how we should go about crafting policies in response. Blanket policies are hard, privacy is important, we need more measurement. Slides: drive.google.com/file/d/1gNTK...

New paper! In @icsjournal.bsky.social I argue that governing #AI means “scale work” — the labour of stabilizing AI *across* relationships that are usually tackled in isolation. I use journalism’s GenAI encounters as a case study, connecting siloed AI collisions www.tandfonline.com/eprint/T7WWF...

Join us online this Thursday!

Very glad to take part on "Humanities in Times of Geopolitical Turmoil" seminar series organised by @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social and @fabianlferrari.bsky.social. 📆 Follow the thing AI: 20/11/2025: 15:30 - 16:30 @oii.ox.ac.uk cdh.uu.nl/event/cdh-on...

Happy to be part of this amazing speaker series organized by Utrecht University, especially @fabianlferrari.bsky.social . I'll talk about Latin American Critical AI studies. I'll be in such great company with @nsrnicek.bsky.social and @anavaldi.bsky.social cdh.uu.nl/event/cdh-on...

China shuts down AI tools during nationwide college exams

Have a new piece on social media's lessons for the governance of generative AI in Information, Communication, and Society, co-authored with Suher Adi. www.tandfonline.com/eprint/MBACG...

Probably the most surprising thing about this confrontation is that it took more than 180 days to happen

"In Silicon Valley, some investors ask whether the AI infrastructure boom will become what fibre optic cables were to the dotcom era." www.ft.com/content/0e24...

Who decides what counts as theft when AI copies your style? Check out the first paper of our special issue on generative AI governance co-edited with @joannekuai.bsky.social!

The US cloud is not inevitable www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Elon Musk’s DOGE is tearing through the US government with disastrous consequences. But beyond its borders, the extreme right is gearing up to push their own DOGE-inspired austerity campaigns in countries around the world.

It’s great to see this piece published in Platforms & Society: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... It nicely brings critical platform scholarship into conversation with the lit. on state capitalism and techno-colonialism, through a rich case study set in post-pandemic Greece.

A narrow regulatory focus on misinformation distracts from addressing structural problems in the AI industry. My chapter in the FEPS Progressive Yearbook 2024. bit.ly/ai-infrastru...

Together with Joanne Kuai, I'm editing a special issue on generative AI governance in Information, Communication & Society. Deadline for abstracts: 15 February 2024 Details: bit.ly/generative-a...

Our new paper in New Media & Society: "Observe, inspect, modify: Three conditions for generative AI governance" journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

At least 16 countries have already experimented with using generative AI to mislead their citizens: www.platformer.news/p/how-author...

This is a REALLY BIG DEAL for ethical AI! And REALLY HARD TO EXPLAIN. Especially in a skeet. 1 - WATERMARKING FOR GEN AI! 2 - EMBEDDED "NUTRITION LABELS" IN GEN AI (does that tl;dr work?) www.globenewswire.com/news-release... 🧵
