Sociology of AI Research Group

A research group shining the sociological spotlight on artificial intelligence.

We seek to answer questions such as:

  • How can sociology help us understand the rise of AI and its attendant problematics?  
  • What can our theory say about the empirical data around AI, and what can the empirical data around AI say about our theory?  
  • What do we think about the use of or resistance to AI in relation to the production of sociological knowledge?  
  • What are the broader consequences of sociological arguments about AI for users, technologists, policy-makers, and neo-Luddites?
