Scholar and artist-researcher working on the political economy and material infrastructure of artificial intelligence; Senior Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research New York, Research Professor at the University of Southern California, and Director of the Knowing Machines Project — the Sloan-Foundation-funded transatlantic research project tracing the histories and politics of how machine-learning systems are trained. Co-founder and former director of research of the AI Now Institute at NYU and inaugural Visiting Chair of AI and Justice at the École Normale Supérieure, Paris (2019).
Author of Atlas of AI: Power, Politics, and the Planetary Costs of Artificial Intelligence (Yale University Press, 2021), the named book most often credited with moving the public AI conversation from abstract ethics frameworks toward a power-and-extraction analysis grounded in the minerals, labour, data, and energy the systems physically depend on. Her art-research collaborations include Anatomy of an AI System with Vladan Joler (2018) — subsequently acquired by MoMA and held in the permanent collections of the V&A, the Ars Electronica Center, and the Design Museum London — and Calculating Empires: A Genealogy of Technology and Power since 1500 with Vladan Joler, which won the Silver Lion at the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale, and Training Humans with Trevor Paglen (2019).
