I’ve grown interested in the politics of AutoCorrect and predictive tools because I have these eerie moments where I’m typing in something, and the AutoCorrect algorithm will punch out something that either sparks a new line of thinking, or invites me to consider what it means to implicitly or explicitly collaborate with machines[…] I started doing more research on machine learning and digital afterlives, datasets, and dirty data, I think in part because I grew up in East Palo Alto with proximity to Silicon Valley and was exposed to a lot of emerging technologies.
