Background

My project investigates the psychological effects that digital labor has on the humans who perform it. Drawing on current research in computer science, anthropology, psychology, and digital humanities, I will try to determine whether the unique and precarious environments where digital laborers work might produce biases in the Artificial Intelligence programs that they create. I find the new forms of work produced by and for technological innovation fascinating. This project allows me to examine whether the social relationships and psychological effects of these new forms of work impact technological innovations themselves.
