Recent advances in the field of Artifical Neural Networks have led to a renaissance of dystopian and utopian speculations on an AI-rendered future. Algorithmic technologies are deployed for identifying potential terrorists through vast surveillance networks, for producing sentencing guidelines and recidivism risk profiles in criminal justice systems, for demographic and psychographic targeting of bodies for advertising or propaganda, and more generally for automating the analysis of language, text, and images. Against this background, the aim of this book is to discuss the heterogenous conditions, implications, and effects of modern AI and Internet technologies in terms of their political dimension: What does it mean to critically investigate efforts of net politics in the age of machine learning algorithms? 1 1 09 23 2019 03 03 2020 978-3-8376-4719-8 978-3-8394-4719-2 transcript Verlag Bielefeld, Germany https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 10.14361/9783839447192 https://www.transcript-open.de/isbn/4719 https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.14361/9783839447192/pdf https://transcript.degruyter.com/view/title/552393 Jens Schröter 09 23 2019 03 03 2020 297 312 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 10.14361/9783839447192-018 https://www.transcript-open.de/doi/10.14361/9783839447192-018 https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.14361/9783839447192-018/pdf https://transcript.degruyter.com/view/book/9783839447192/10.14361/9783839447192-018.xml https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.14361/9783839447192-018/xml https://www.inlibra.com/10.14361/9783839447192-018
