Human-aided artificial intelligence: Or, how to run large computations in human brains? Toward a media sociology of machine learning
@article{Mhlhoff2020HumanaidedAI, title={Human-aided artificial intelligence: Or, how to run large computations in human brains? Toward a media sociology of machine learning}, author={Rainer M{\"u}hlhoff}, journal={New Media \& Society}, year={2020}, volume={22}, pages={1868 - 1884} }
Today, artificial intelligence (AI), especially machine learning, is structurally dependent on human participation. Technologies such as deep learning (DL) leverage networked media infrastructures and human-machine interaction designs to harness users to provide training and verification data. The emergence of DL is therefore based on a fundamental socio-technological transformation of the relationship between humans and machines. Rather than simulating human intelligence, DL-based AIs capture…

Artificial intelligence and the affective labour of understanding: The intimate moderation of a language model
- Computer ScienceNew Media & Society

GPT harnesses human labour and sensemaking at two stages: (1) during training when the algorithm ‘learns’ biased communicative patterns extracted from the Internet and (2) during usage when humans write alongside the AI.
Artificial intelligence in fiction: between narratives and metaphors

Expl exploratory findings on a scientometric analysis of the literature at the intersections of social media and AI show that while Twitter and Facebook have been the main platforms for study, Chinese social media platforms emerge as new sites of research with the COVID-19.
Speciesist bias in AI - How AI applications perpetuate discrimination and unfair outcomes against animals
- Computer ScienceArXiv
- 2022
This paper is the first to describe the ‘speciesist bias’ and investigate it in several different AI systems and stresses the influence AI systems can have on either increasing or reducing the violence that is inflicted on animals, and especially on farmed animals.

Deep learning is making major advances in solving problems that have resisted the best attempts of the artificial intelligence community for many years, and will have many more successes in the near future because it requires very little engineering by hand and can easily take advantage of increases in the amount of available computation and data.
