Finally my article on temporalities of welfare automation is out. I am exploring three temporal tropes. The manuscript was initially lost in some kind of review loop but is finally seeing the light. Time in academia is weird thing... journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Jag skrev en sak som kopplar ihop AI kommissionens färdplan för Sverige med Försäkringskassans AI verktyg för att identifiera bidragsfusk. Trodde att just det senare skulle få mer uppmärksamhet i den offentliga debatten. Men tydligen inte. www.dagensarena.se/opinion/arti...
