The platformization of society, fueled by automation and machine learning, impacts IT users in deleterious, discriminatory, democracy-threatening, and at times deadly, ways that intersect and compound. This symposium will include papers that explore how automation—from its algorithmic and architectural design to its structuring, materiality, maintenance, and use—has developed jointly with social politics.
Automation by Design is a global, interdisciplinary, virtual Charles Babbage Institute symposium and its program will draw from a broad range of fields across the humanities and social sciences.
