Artificial intelligence is increasingly shaping the future of information seeking, discovery, and curation. While AI may claim to make these practices easier, several scholars have been raising essential questions about the nature of this technology and its implications for racial justice, political polarization, and privacy in the information ecosystem.
The first session of the AI Infodemic: Interrogating Algorithms of Information Seeking reading group kicks off with readings about the context under which AI has become a concern in information professions. Topics covered will include surveillance capitalism, corporate ethics, and the current state of AI technology.

The AI Infodemic: Interrogating Algorithms of Information Seeking reading group is sponsored by the HRI Research Cluster: AI & Society: Privacy, Ethics and (Dis)Information.
