This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program totaling $246,455 will fund research examining socio-technical practices governing the design, manufacture, and distribution of emerging digital technologies. Specifically, the two-year award to the University of Massachusetts will support multi-sited ethnographic research and analyses exploring how entrepreneurs, manufacturers, and investors are actively building and circulating personal and consumer technologies outside of state-sponsored activities. The research will train undergraduate and graduate students in science and technology studies while investigating networks developing technologies like artificial intelligence, internet of things, and facial recognition. Findings aim to further understanding of how these technologies become embedded in everyday life and inform technology policy and innovation stakeholders.
