Subprojects

This project comprises a series of individual sociotechnical case studies as well as contributions to a forensic toolkit. Connecting all these is the question of what sort of methodology is commensurate to the unfolding AI paradigm—here, the project took as its point of departure a synthesis of approaches from sociohistorical, design, and technical research. A useful structuring principle has been the pipeline underlying modern AI: the three distinct components of dataset, model, and application. The project takes specificity as a tenet to uphold, whether of models, architectures, procedures, epistemologies… conversely, between knowledge and tools there is a continuum to be explored.
