My research focuses on the interface of humans and information technology, analyzing governmental visions of future interactions between human actors and artificial intelligence. In doing so, I am interested in how such innovation policies, drawing on conventional understandings of human-computer interaction, contribute to the geopoliticization of technology but also to the production of ontological security. Further, I look at the micro level and examine technologically mediated practices that have both violent and peace-promoting effects. The analysis of crisis scenarios focuses in particular on misinformation and informal self-organization on social media and also asks about design-oriented implications.
