... Sequence data, the “backbone” of genomics, is in transformation, and this transformation may well change what genomes are. The changes described in this essay concern how biological processes associated with genomes are modeled. As predictive models based on machine learning techniques...

.... Engaging with critical algorithm studies research on machine learning, algorithmic violence, artificial intelligence, race, and platforms, the chapter examines the nonhuman witnessing by and of algorithms through a series of case studies: deepfakes as a form of false witness; the machine learning analysis...

... This chapter pays close attention to biological engineers’ use of mechanistic logic and machine analogies to render living substance in the form of molecular machines. It offers an ethnographic account of protein modelers’ creativity with both words and things as they learn to put machines...

... into technology design. It explores how machine learning acts in tandem with whorephobic laws to exacerbate both online and offline inequalities. It examines the use of software to flag words, body parts, and activities; to assess what constitutes sex, nudity, porn, and art; and to estimate age, verify identity...

... governmental decision making to our everyday quotidian acts, we interact with algorithms as they learn from and shape our becoming, seeking to compress patterns and rhythms into their existing logics. Algorithms attempt to enfold the variability of knowing into the political-juridical, transparent, or self...

... This chapter investigates Columbo’s “obsession” with the technological gadgets—objects like film projectors, answering machines, video recorders, and even a robot—that appear throughout its 1970s run. These technological objects on display are embedded with history: they narrate a history...
