Julian Posada is an Assistant Professor of American Studies at Yale University. His research integrates theories and methods from information science, sociology, and human-computer interaction to examine how technology is developed and used within various historical, cultural, and social contexts.
His current book project investigates the dynamics between human labor and data production in the artificial intelligence industry. Incorporating Latin American critical thought, this study emphasizes the experiences of workers in the region who are employed by digital platforms to produce machine learning data and validate algorithmic outputs.
