A research project (2020-2022) on the algorithmic public opinion. Funded by @FondCariplo, led by @lastatale @dipartimentoSPS together with @densitydesign.

Joined April 2020
Today we presented part of the @algocount project: “Everyday algorithms” collection at the #STSconference @Unibo with @silviakeeling @simonacasonato. The collection is available here 👀 museoscienza.org/it/collezio… @densitydesign @algocount @Museoscienza
Replying to @algocount
@algocount relevant again (and rightly so) today at #STSconference @Unibo ! Here reporting on behalf of the team @angelesbriones @simonacasonato and I, recounting the process of how a material collection of ‘everyday algorithms’ came into being @Museoscienza

Day #2. Round table on our policy suggestions + performance on algorithmic awareness. Grateful to all participants and happy this could be of interest! Good to see our research reaching out to more than just us researchers and becoming a museum collection @algocount @Museoscienza

Blended roundtable at @algocount final event with policymakers, scholars, activists, and professionals to discuss the regulation of algorithmic media. These kind of initiatives are really needed!

Alle 17.30, sempre al @Museoscienza, un dibattito sulle policy da adottare per regolamentare l’ “opinione pubblica algoritmica”. Ci vediamo lì, seguono aperitivo e performance teatrale…ovviamente algoritmica 🤖 – at Milan, Lombardy

What the story of Weizenbaum‘s Elisa tells us about AI narratives? Brilliant keynote by @simone_natale @algocount #ArtificialIntelligence

Algorithms are not just artifacts, they’re also narratives, shares Simone Natale at Everyday Algorithms conference 2022. Will the future look like indistinguishable humans and machines? Powerful AI ethics discussions @LaStatale @algocount
…“Objects tell stories; software and algorithms are also discursive objects that orient public narratives” @simone_natale fascinating closing keynote (re)raising questions on human-machine deception and distinction, from #Eliza to #LaMDA @algocount

Excellent attempt at theorizing automation, sociologically, by @massimoairoldi at @algocount event. Refreshing to see non-Anglo-American thinking on digital media/life.
A quick thread about my book 'Machine Habitus: Toward a Sociology of Algorithms', just out with @politybooks! #MachineHabitus 1/6

AI ethics ante litteram: @simone_natale is offering such a timely presentation about the idea of “thinking machines” – at Milan, Lombardy

Brilliant presentation by @i_am_voice at @algocount on how a posthumanist imaginary of algorithms may open new ways to theorize platform algorithms beyond the ‘filter bubble’ debate.

The day ends with a keynote by @simone_natale, who is telling us the story of ELIZA and its creator Joseph Weizenbaum in 1976: “need to dispel the computer myths” 🤖 – at Milan, Lombardy
