Bio

Digitalization in general and so-called ‘Artificial Intelligence’-driven technologies in particular are portrayed as a game changer in political discourses, science fiction, popular media, tech marketing campaigns, and academic literature. These narratives typically celebrate technical achievements, thereby largely disregarding the ontological implications of the digitalization of health and wellbeing for knowledge, self-knowledge, human self-understanding, politics, citizenship, justice, and power. My research addresses these issues by focusing on datafication and non-datafiable knowledge (such as intuitive, introspective, and sensorial/body-mediated knowledge), epistemic and methodological justice in digital (mental) health platforms and machine learning systems, eugenics, phrenology, and physiognomy in algorithms, and the transformations of the visions of the good and of the self that result from the engagement with digital technologies.
