Three territories for studying communication with machines

Proposed agenda for the lab's initial stage.

1

Communication, agents and social systems

How do people and agents take part in coordination and the production of meaning?

2

Digital culture, trust and power

How do platforms and digital infrastructures transform audiences, identities and credibility?

Abstract illustration: a charcoal circle and an orange semicircle joined by parallel lines.

Abstract illustration: overlapping paper strips in ivory and grey, with orange strokes.

Delegating a task is not the same as delegating judgment. This territory studies where that line falls in universities and organizations.
