New #AIES paper w/ @benzevgreen.bsky.social & @tisjune.bsky.social - "Deconstructing AI Hype: A Playbook for Resistance"! Read here: shreyachowdhary.net/files/decons...

We argue that AI hype is a problem not because it misdescribes AI, but because it facilitates AI entrenchment.

New #CSCW26 paper with @benzevgreen.bsky.social! Many data scientists want to support social justice efforts but struggle to identify how to do so. Drawing on movement lawyering, we offer practical guidance for finding productive ways to work in solidarity with movements. doi.org/10.1145/381697

The first copies of Algorithmic Realism: Data Science Practices to Promote Social Justice have arrived! It's pretty surreal to hold a physical copy after years of staring at Word docs and PDFs. The book comes out next week, so get your preorders in now!
