AI for diversity
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly impacting many aspects of people’s lives across the globe, from relatively mundane technology to more advanced digital systems that can make their own decisions.
Digitalization and Social Change: A Guide in Critical Thinking
Digitalization is shaping our everyday lives, yet navigating the changes it entails can feel like trekking into the unknown, where both the possibilities and the consequences are unclear and difficult to grasp.
The Gender of Things; How Epistemic and Technological Objects Become Gendered
The Gender of Things is a highly interdisciplinary book that explores the power relationship between gender and the material culture of technoscience, addressing a seemingly straightforward question. Søraa has a chapter in the book.
