AAN Impulse No. 12 - "Thick Machines - Data science and machine learning in ethnography." (by Anders Munk, Aalborg University)
In this talk Techno-Anthropology associate professor and Techno-Anthropology-Lab director Anders Munk is going to talk about Thick Machines:
Anthropologists are increasingly integrating data science and machine learning methods into their ethnographic tool kits. The talk explores what such methods can become in the hands of a computational anthropology and what current debates in AI can learn from the anthropological experience.
You can find more information upfront via Anders paper on that matter: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/20539517211069891
The challenging question for the participants to discuss was:
How do we have ethnographic conversations with an algorithm?
