Subject: [Bigdatasur] Mapping AI in/from the Majority World

Hello Everyone:

I am reaching out today to share not one, but two new Data & Society publications that might be of interest to Big Data from the Global South Initiative. We have released both A Primer on AI in/from the Majority World:  An Empirical Site and a Standpoint<https://datasociety.net/library/a-primer-on-ai-in-from-the-majority-world/>, and Data & Society faculty fellow Dr. Murali Shanmugavelan’s syllabus for Critical Caste and Tech Studies<https://www.criticalcastetechstudies.net/>. Both are part of an ongoing body of work at D&S that reframes current understandings of AI and data-centric technology in what we refer to as the majority world.

A Primer on AI in/from the Majority World: An Empirical Site and a Standpoint<https://datasociety.net/library/a-primer-on-ai-in-from-the-majority-world/> is a curated collection of over 160 thematic works — books, journal articles, newspaper articles, blog posts, podcasts, lectures, and interviews. It offers pathways to explore the presence of data and AI in the geographic regions that are home to the majority of the human population. We are publishing it in both English<https://datasociety.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/09142022_AIMW_Primer_eng_final.pdf> and Spanish<https://datasociety.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/09142022_AIMW_Primer_esp.pdf>.

A complementary resource, Dr. Shanmugavelan’s Critical Caste and Technology Studies syllabus<https://www.criticalcastetechstudies.net/> is the first of its kind, and a rich starting point for exploring contemporary dynamics of technology and power. It offers a communication-, media-, and technology-based critique of contemporary caste narratives, and aims to unravel how caste is embedded in the field of technology.

I hope you will find these resources useful in mapping the field of AI in/from the majority world that we are all trying to shape in our own ways. :D
