Research Project
Digital Constitutionalism in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
This project will create a framework for studying the co-production of artificial intelligence and politics, mainly through the new AI Act. Based in science and technology studies (STS) and critical data studies we will focus on imagined futures, risk(s to rights), and values in standardization and infrastructure. We will create a conceptual framework, which enable critical analysing of ways in which fundamental rights and values change as they become mediated through new sites, institutions, markets, practices and technologies. Our approach will study these changes to classical works in STS on The Modern Constitution, under a general heading of digital constitutionalism.
Research Interests:
Irina Shklovski works across many disciplines, focusing on ethics in technology development, information privacy, social networks, and relational practices. Her projects address responsible technology design, data governance, online information disclosure, the use of self-tracking technologies, data leakage on mobile devices and the sense of powerlessness people experience in the face of massive personal data collection. She is concerned with how everyday technologies are becoming increasingly “creepy” and how people come to normalize and ignore those feelings of discomfort. Irina believes that addressing these problems requires changes in the education of designers and developers that will create technologies of our future.
Most recently she coordinated project VIRT-EU, examining how IoT developers enact ethics in practice and co-designing interventions into the IoT development process to support ethical reflection on data and privacy in the EU context (http://www.virteuproject.eu/servicepackage).
