HATE BY AI?

This new Call for Proposals of SOUNDING OUT! listens to how LLMs now decide which voices are heard, which are silenced, and which are misunderstood.

Guest editor Kathryn Huether invites essays (~1200 words) that explore the effects, the workings, and the historical backgrounds of this worrying and now almost expected use of non-human listening to simply generate more hate, aggression and all forms of oppression:
– deepfake audio, synthetic voices, and AI-generated propaganda
– creative resistance to hate and misrecognition caused by algorithms
– how non-human listening effectively reproducers and normalizes colonial and nationalist ideas
