Florida Tech’s Anna Muenchrath is studying how algorithmically produced and processed data affects the U.S. translation market. Centering her study on the Amazon publishing imprint Amazon Crossing, Muenchrath will use her findings to explore how humans use algorithms to replace their own judgement and selections and the implications that could have on the culture.
“The idea that algorithms are affecting not only our work lives or our interactions on the internet, but also the kind of art, literature, and music that we have access to offline is something that people may not be aware of,” says Muenchrath. “The humanities are absolutely vital to interrogating the role of machines in our society… and how to live a life conditioned by technological change.”
