AI, New Extractivism and Eco-media Literacy

Abstract

Digital technologies and ongoing cognitive transformations has changed not only books but also language, authorship, and what it means to be human. Computational humanity (interconnections between humans and computational media) therefore brings questions that in library and information science research employ connecting the ideas that come traditionally from the social sciences and the humanistic disciplines into the world of machine learning and AI design, particularly black boxes of data-driven society whose invisible walls of algorithmic factory define entirely new forms of exploitation and labour  that persists in the ideological promotion of unlimited economic growth.
