I'll be working on a publication and building out my policy research on AI infrastructure, while continuing to think about how researchers can support communities who are 'subject to' AI infrastructure. Please connect if you want to work on this together!

As the UK government unveils its AI Opportunities Action Plan, proposing 'AI Growth Zones' to accelerate Big Tech backed data centre buildouts, research that grounds infrastructural transformations in the experiences of local communities (and local government) is increasingly important.

V grateful for my supervisor @anavaldi.bsky.social (an incredible AI infrastructure scholar) and others in and around the OII who have shaped how I approach this work: Vili Lehdonvirta, Keegan McBride, Corinne Cath, PhD, Bill Kelly and of course, the part-time MSc cohort 🎉

This research would not have been possible without the collaboration of my interlocutors from Friends of the Earth, particularly Ian Pirie, and the residents of Havering who are navigating the reality of what happens when the cloud hits the ground.

Thanks for sharing Flematu's incredible visualisations of the Tiny Tech Futures workshop co-led by @aytc0.bsky.social and myself exploring how artists, educators and engineers can challenge the scale, centralisation and extractivism of contemporary digital technologies through their practices 🍃
