Beskrivelse

In this project, we investigate the growing reliance on corporate knowledge services and the associated risk of diminishing critical thinking abilities. The shift toward digitization and dependence on knowledge generated by e.g., Big Tech corporations’ AI services, as well as repositories of knowledge in popular culture and academia, raises concerns. When knowledge is delivered as a service, it comes with the risk of obscuring the conditions of knowledge production. Which knowledge is prioritized? Whose knowledge is represented? What labour goes into the production of knowledge, including, e.g., the ‘ghost work’ in training AI models? How many natural resources, what materials and how much emission of CO2? These questions point at the material, political, and organizational aspects of knowledge production.

Nøgleresultater

The project benefits to the public in the following ways:

It raises awareness about the relation of infrastructure and knowledge through practical experimentation and therefore makes it easier for an audience to grasp a complex issue and its implications.

It increases literacy about these issues and establishes a common vocabulary to discuss these problems publicly.

It offers a methodology and a conceptual toolbox to do so.

By connecting different collectives and communities of practice, the project itself engages with a participative democratic practice.

The project unfolds as a series of activities around the creation of knowledge servers and services, with grassroots and community partners.
