Episode Synopsis

The AI revolution can seem powerful and unstoppable, extracting data from every aspect of our lives and subjecting us to unprecedented surveillance and control. But at ground level, even the most advanced ‘smart’ technologies are not as all-powerful as either the tech companies or their critics would have us believe.
In this episode, Professor Mark Andrejevic talks with three of the authors of Everyday Data Cultures about how ordinary people are negotiating the datafication of society. They discuss a new theoretical framework for understanding everyday experiences of data and automation established in the book, offering guidance on the ethical responsibilities we share as we learn to live together with data-driven machines. 
Professor Mark Andrejevic interviews Professor Jean Burgess, Professor Kath Albury and Professor Anthony McCosker.
