So thrilled to have @emae.bsky.social’s brilliant work on provenance and critical A.I. studies in the SI, where she calls for more direct engagement with archival theory “which has evolved for two centuries to consider sociocultural relations between records and creators” ! Read more ⬇️

Along with 14 other scholars, archivists, designers, business leaders, and engineers I shared my thoughts on DEEP TIME DATA ARCHIVES for the @harvardlil.bsky.social Generational Data project with @maxy.bsky.social and Clare Stanton. What data, if any, should be stored for a century? Who decides? 💎

My new paper examines the history of data infrastructures and how they grapple with absent and incomplete information. Exploring the tension between the desire for certainty and acknowledging partiality, I advocate for recognising the ‘ghosts’ that haunt data systems. doi.org/10.1177/0894...
