The recently published special issue of DIGSUM’s Journal of Digital Social Research is entitled Unpacking the Algorithm: Social Science Perspectives on AI. Its diverse set of contributions not only illustrates the potential, importance, and breadth of social science research in this area, but also sketches the outlines of a research agenda developed by Simon Lindgren & Jonny Holmström in the special issue introduction.
We hope that this special issue of JDSR will help define what a social science of AI could and should entail, and that it will also stimulate further discussions about the role of social science perspectives in AI research.
