A.I. Among Us: Agency in a World of Cameras and Recognition Systems

We conclude by noting A.I. and recognition systems challenge current practices for the EPIC community and the field of anthropo…

Practice, Products and the Future of Ethnographic Work
Ethnographic work in industry has spent two decades contributing to making products that matter in a range of industry contexts. This activity has accounted for important successes within industry. From the standpoint of ethnographic practice, however, the discursive infrastructure that has been developed to do our work within product development is now a limiting factor. For practice to evolve, we must look critically at the ways in which our cu…
