The Model and the Reactor, has three objectives:
-Share findings and digital methods that expose AI’s global technological footprint
-Facilitate comparative policy research on measures to promote alternative AI infrastructures
-Develop joint statements about recommendations for a new infrastructure for AI

I feel like @AoIR is trying to tell me something, but I can't quite make it out. #AoIR2025 🤔

Looks like the future of AoIR is in great hands! Thanks to everyone who ran, and everyone who voted!

Today I learned that the original name of the Association of Internet Researchers was "association(of).internet.researchers" -- that made me smile!

@raquelrecuero @adriamaral

got my #AoIR2025 reviews done on time, which means the conference committee will find me for more, I'm sure!

Well, and that's my first five #AoIR2025 reviews done.

I imagine there will be more assigned to me and the other @AoIR lifers, though, unless y'all actually do your own reviews on time this time... <wags finger>

Submissions for the @AoIR 2025 Nancy Baym Book Award (for books published in 2024) are now open.

Hi @AoIR , a quick question: are the dates for #AoIR2026 already known?
Unfortunately, fixed dates for other things are already being set around that time, and it is difficult to shift them at a later point. (I already made the mistake with #AoIR2025, having reserved early on different dates later in October 😖.)
