Social Media and Politics   /     #65: The Logics of Datafication, Algorithms, and Artificial Intelligence, with Dr. Jakob Svensson

Description

Dr. Jakob Svensson, Associate Professor in Media and Communication at Malmö University, guests to share his research on the logics that drive digital media. We discuss how algorithms and datafication are shaped by developers, and the types of biases that can occur as a result. We also talk about the political implications of artificial intelligence.
