As an academic, writer, musician, producer, and researcher, Kate Crawford focuses on the social and political ramifications of artificial intelligence. She is based in New York and holds positions as an associate professor in the Journalism and Media Research Center at the University of New South Wales, a visiting professor at the MIT Center for Civic Media, a senior fellow at the Information Law Institute at NYU, a co-founder and former director of research at the AI Now Institute at NYU, and a principal researcher at Microsoft Research (Social Media Collective). She also belongs to the Global Agenda Council on Data-Driven Development at the WEF.

Crawford studies how media technology and social change interact, especially at the interface of mobile devices, social networks, and people. Her study looks at how AI impacts racial, gender, and socioeconomic elements of human existence. She contends that rather than being impartial or objective, AI systems reflect and uphold the current hierarchies of power and injustice. She also looks at the cultural and historical backgrounds of AI’s growth, as well as its effects on the environment and ethics. In addition to showing her creative works in music and art at institutions like the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, she has published on cultures of technology usage and the ways media histories influence the present.
