The internet has #materiality. It depends on the #subsea cables on the #ocean floor.
π We must #question and #queer the popular imaginations of, and uncritical and false #assumptions about, digital #automation and #digitalhealth existing in the ether in an immaterial world, without #environmental #dependencies and ecological costs.

HCII Seminar Series - David Widder | Human-Computer Interaction Institute
David Gray Widder (he/him) studies how people creating artificial intelligence systems think about the downstream harms their systems make possible, and the wider cultural, technical, and economic logics which shape these thoughts. He is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Digital Life Initiative at Cornell Tech, an affiliate of the Data & Society research institute, and a research fellow of the European AI & Society Fund.
