Our Special Issue on "Artificial Intelligence Controversies" is coming to life, and with a blast: Lucy Suchman on why AI is so remarkably uncontroversial and wildly controversial at the same time. Or: Why AI has accomplished to be taken-granted and push tech-centred discourses on its impact and integration and society.

I am interested in the ways communication, technology and governance shape each other – currently particularly with regard to the formation of platforms and their governance, as well to the making of 21st century AI and its governance.

@tarleton @rscarlets @goanta @rwg @Palomaviejo @joao_magalhaes @zemki @unibremen @universityofgroningen We look forward to extend this time our often EU/US-centred debates in platform governance tomorrow with a conversation on platforms in the Chinese context (4/x).

It's really fascinating to hear Zheyu talk about content moderation in the Chinese context. And how platforms navigate the challenges of scale, state regulation, user activities etc.
Replying to

The map is not the territory. Interesting discussions today on mapping and modelling at the Villa Vigoni. Great sidenote by Avi Bernstein on Swiss maps, and why light shines contra-factually from the North in Swiss Maps.
