Excerpt

The article advocates for a 're-humanizing' approach to algorithmic systems, emphasizing human agency and involvement in AI processes. It critiques the notion of autonomous machines and argues that futures shaped by AI require constant human effort. The authors explore how people promote, experience, and adapt to algorithmic systems, highlighting the substantial work that goes into creating and using these technologies. They also discuss the potential dehumanizing effects of technology development and the need for a more nuanced understanding of human-AI interactions. The article draws on case studies, such as data activism initiatives and the experiences of content moderators and social workers, to illustrate its points and challenge the dominant 'algorithmic drama' narrative.
