Episode Synopsis "AAN Impulse No. 10 - "“Why the world needs digital innovation in anthropology – and why UNESCO joined the ride.” (by James Ingram, Founder of LiiV)"

Digital disruption generates new global challenges, stressing the fundamental structures of our societies. Today leaders rely heavily on big data to understand this impact on our communities and cultures, which can lead to enormous ethical blindspots. While Anthropologists have ethnography to study these cultural shifts, oftentimes ethnography alone is too slow for the speed needed to make timely decisions. By developing new digital tools for ethnography, anthropologists can gather deeper insights into humanity at the pace and scale of data science, making big data more human, equal and ethical.Listen to an inspiring and provoking talk by James Ingram, founder of LIIV (https://liivgroup.com/), which took place on Nov. 08 in 2021, asking our community the following questions to discuss:What kind of digital innovation could help applied anthropologists study digital life? If you had a magic wand, what magical tools would you create? Why?New innovative tools must be designed within strong ethical guidelines. Who in the world of ethical tech is doing this well? Why?What people, institutes, companies around the world are bringing digital innovation to anthropology tools and curriculum?
