An elemental ethics for artificial intelligence: Water as resistance within AI’s value chain
Research and activism have increasingly denounced the problematic environmental record of the infrastructure and value chain underpinning artificial intelligence (AI). Water-intensive data centres, polluting mineral extraction and e-waste dumping are incontrovertibly part of AI’s footprint. In this article, I turn to areas affected by AI-fuelled environmental harm and identify an ethics of resistance emerging from local activists, which I term ‘e…
Glosario tecno-climático para orientarse en una época incierta
El "Glosario tecno-climático" es una obra colaborativa que recopila entradas abordando conceptos fundamentales para explorar la intersección entre tecnología y crisis climática. Cada entrada se presenta de manera concisa, estableciendo puntos clave sobre los siguientes términos: "Activismo Digital", "Alteración Climática", "Antropoceno", "Atmósfera", "Dinámicas de inflexión social", "Gaia", "Geosimbiosis", "Progreso", "Sostenibilidad", "Tecnologí…
An alternative planetary future? Digital sovereignty frameworks and the decolonial option
The frameworks of cyber, technology and data sovereignty have become some of the most influential alternative technological imaginaries. Developed by states and civil society groups, such frameworks are seducing a broad range of actors seeking to reassert their autonomy and self-determination in relation to digital technology and infrastructure. Against this backdrop, this article interrogates the alleged transformative character of digital sover…
The coloniality of collaboration: Sources of epistemic obedience in data-intensive astronomy in Chile
Data collaborations have gained currency over the last decade as a means for data- and skills-poor actors to thrive as a fourth paradigm takes hold in the sciences. Against this backdrop, this article traces the emergence of a collaborative subject position that strives to establish reciprocal and technical-oriented collaborations so as to catch up with the ongoing changes in research. Combining insights from the modernity/coloniality group, poli…
When friction becomes the norm: Antagonism, discourse and planetary data turbulence
The ideal of unfettered data circulation has fallen into crisis. As of today, a growing number of actors are introducing measures to ensure a greater degree of control over the global data pipeline. Combining critical data studies and political theory, this article conceptualises the current technopolitical conjuncture as one of ‘planetary data turbulence’ in which divergences regarding the production and circulation of data have become the norm.…
Addressing ethical gaps in 'Technology for Good: Foregrounding care and capabilities
This paper identifies and addresses persistent gaps in the consideration of ethical practice in 'technology for good' development contexts. Its main contribution is to model an integrative approach using multiple ethical frameworks to analyse and understand the everyday nature of ethical practice, including in professional practice among 'technology for good' start-ups. The paper identifies inherent paradoxes in the 'technology for good' sector a…
Territories of data: Ontological Divergences in the Growth of Data Infrastructure
The construction of astronomical observatories in the Atacama Desert has prompted different actors in Chile to envision initiatives for promoting the expansion of data infrastructure. While such projects are usually seen as synonymous with development, Lickan Antay Indigenous activists affected by the construction of an observatory consider this situation the beginning of a new chapter in their history of territorial struggle. Building upon polit…
