18 PhD positions in new research group about Communicative Artificial Intelligence (ComAI).
Across 10 projects we ask: How does societal communication transform when ComAI becomes part of it?

Results There is not just one black box, but at least three different modes of assembling black boxes of machine learning (ML): (1) the black box of ML data, (2) the black box of ML algorithms and trained models, and (3) the black box of ML-based systems in practice.
In conclusion, we reflect on the ways in which particular understandings of ML black boxes afford specific understandings of what kinds of entities, practices and "foldings" need to be researched.

Together with @hen_drik@hci.social, we wrote a chapter about "Black Boxes of Machine Learning".
**The starting point**
Research on algorithmic fairness, accountability and transparency promotes a view on algorithmic systems as black boxes that need to be “opened” and “unpacked”.
**Our approach**
We analyse what exactly scholars and practitioners aim to unpack when they examine algorithmic black boxes, what they consider to be constitutive elements of these black boxes, and what is “othered“.

To day is the date that our new book ***Algorithmic Regimes: Methods, Interactions and Politics*** is available. It's open access! It was an absolute pleasure to edit. See below for some of the flattering reviews that we have received so far.
